A short trade-journal article describing "Koongora," a man-made fur woven from mohair at Sanford Mills in Sanford, Maine. It credits loom designer Herbert J. Hope with a roughly 10-year effort to develop a special loom and patented process that mingles short and long mohair fibers to imitate coonskin and other furs. It recounts the anecdote of the mill secretary pulling out fibers, and explains how mohair (Angora goat fleece) differs from wool.
