Angora yarn

Angora comes from rabbits; mohair comes from Angora goats. The two names identify different fibres.

Match the fabric to the project

The fine fuzzy surface can obscure small stitch details. A blend with wool offers a different structure from a high-angora yarn; compare the visible halo and edging after finishing.

Finish a sample first

Follow the particular blend’s care band and fold the finished item rather than letting its weight hang from the shoulders. Check shedding on a small sample before making a wearable item.
