A short encyclopedia entry defining mohair as the hair of the Angora goat. It covers the annual clipping, fleece yields, the relative value of male and female hair, and the places where it is spun and manufactured (France, England, Scotland). It lists products made from it, including camlets, plush, laces, buttons, trimmings and cloth for paletots, and notes that mohair dresses were replaced by alpaca cloths.
