1 Angora
ANGORA, or "Mohair"The hair or wool of the goat of that name. More generally known as mohair. The animal originally had its home in Asia Minor. About 1858 it was introduced into Cape Colony, from which country we now get a large supply. The natives of Asia Minor made shawls from the wool, which resembled Cashmere shawls. In colour it is white, average length of hair is 6 to 8 inches, and- has a curly structure. It is a very useful fibre, and largely used by the manufacturers of Astrakhan, wool crepons, plushes and cashmeres; also used in many silk cloths. The French use the fibre in a cloth named "poil de chevre", which has a fine spun silk coloured warp and angora weft. Bradford -imitates this cloth with a fine cotton warp. It has more lustre than wool, but is not so warm. Sir Titus Salt, by introducing the manufacture of goods made from mohair into Saltaire, raised Saltaire into a town from a village. -
2 Angora Layette
Angora rabbit wool blended with wool and processed into a worsted yarn. Employed chiefly for hosiery purposes. The Retail Trading Standards Association state, "The name Angora should not be used unless a reasonable proportion of angora rabbit hair is present in the material." -
3 Angora Yarn
Another type of Angora yarn is obtained from the Angora rabbit. It is a very soft hair and gives soft yarns which are generally used in the knitting trade. This is the real Angora yarn. -
4 Angora Wool (Rabbit)
A white silky hair obtained from the Angora rabbit. It has extremely soft, warm and light "handling" properties. The Angora rabbit yields annually about 10-oz. of wool, which is obtained by several clippings. Of this weight about 6-oz., classified as best wool, is about 3-in. in length, and sells at from 25's. to 30's. per Lb. The remainder is shorter and of lower quality.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Angora Wool (Rabbit)

10 Rabbit Hair
Fur of the common rabbit is prized by the hatting industry, but has little interest in woven textiles. Angora rabbit yields white and grey hair up to five inches long, which is used in knitting and for fancy effects in woven fabrics. Angora rabbits are kept in captivity and are combed every three months, under which treatment each animal yields about 8-oz. of wool in the year. Angora wool can be dyed, but is most largely used white for knitted children's clothing, either wholly or as a figuring material. -

It is chiefly used for ladies' dress cloths and lounge jackets. Spun into counts 28's and heavier, also 2/40's and 2/36's from the finer wools. Hosiery yarns are also made from alpaca wool, mostly soft spun in natural shades. -

15 Chevrette

16 Fibres
The textile fibres of commerce are very numerous. They are usually placed in " three natural classes, vegetable, animal and mineral. The rayon filaments so far produced are all vegetable. " Vegetable fibres can be classified as follows: - Seed fibres, growing from the seeds or seed-capsules of certain plants, as cotton, Bombax, Asselepias, etc. Stem fibres, growing in the bast of certain plants, as flax, hemp, jute, etc. Leaf fibres, occurring in the leaves of certain plants, including New Zealand hemp, Manila hemp, etc. Fruit fibres, of which the sole member worth mentioning is the cocoanut fibre. Artificial fibres, represented by viscose, cellulose acetate, cuprammonium and nitrocellulose rayon. The chief fibres in the animal class are wool, silk, and the various kinds of animal hair such as camel, llama, angora, rabbit, horse, etc. The chief member of the mineral group is asbestos, a substance that resists the action of fire. Gold, silver and copper used in the making of tinsel yarns are not fibres as they do not require to be spun. Cellulose-Acetata Rayon - Filaments composed of an acetic ester of cellulose coagulated or solidified from its solution. Cuprammonium Rayon - Filaments composed of regenerated cellulose which has been coagulated or solidified from a solution of cellulose in ammoniacal copper oxide. Nitro-cellulose Rayon (Chardonnet) - Filaments composed of regenerated or denitrated cellulose which has been coagulated or solidified from a solution of nitrated cellulose. Viscose Rayon - Filaments composed of a regenerated cellulose which has been coagulated or solidified from a solution of cellulose xanthate. The preceding four definitions are proposed by the American Society for Testing Materials, Corn. D-13 -
