Mohair is an extremely strong fiber, one of the strongest natural fibers known to man, thus it was used extensively in making garments such as sweaters and in rug making in Turkey and Angola. Hand spinners and weavers today treasure it for it's strength, beauty, luster and softness and is used in a variety of beautiful products. Also, because of its' natural curl, mohair is also used by crafters for Santa's beards and doll hair.

Dorset wool usually classes as medium, or sometimes coarse, wool. It blends well with other wool types and is used in hand spinning for making a variety of products. It also blends beautifully with mohair.
