NEW FOREST MOHAIR

Angora goats are friendly, inquisitive animals, originating in the Ankara region of Turkey from where their name originated. They have been kept for their fine, lustrous fleece since pre-biblical times... Mohair is a fine, ringlet fibre, which has lustre, softness and is hard-wearing, with fire retardant properties. It readily dyes, creating beautiful vibrant colours... Frances and Ian Mason have kept Angora goats since 1989, since lockdown they have reduced their flock and now just keep some does. Training days on angora goat management are held during the year.
