Summary
In the 20th century, designers such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Jean Michel Frank often used mohair textiles in their designs. Mohair carpets and draperies have a poised effect, in Wright and Frank’s work, lovely handsome beiges and other rich modern neutrals added a quiet richness to their interiors. For millennia mohair has been prized for its distinct properties. This extraordinary fiber comes from the fleece of the Angora goat, a breed that originated in Tibet. Compared to other fibers from Far Eastern and South American goat breeds, mohair is exceptionally unique for its unparalleled resilience, luster, and ability to fully absorb dyes. It's physical structure differs from sheep’s wool, composed mostly of the protein keratin, making it light and strong. The exceptionally strong fibers have a tensile strength that rivals that of steel, and because of this and its gorgeous sheen it is sometimes called the “diamond fiber.”
