1 Mohair
The hair obtained from the Angora goat, and is grown chiefly in Turkey, South Africa, the U.S.A. and Australia. It is lustrous white, fine, wavy and long. The length varies from 4-in. to 10-in. and spins from 28's to 50's quality. It has no felting properties. That from the U.S.A. is much lower in quality than the others, having about 15 per cent more kempy fibre. Mohair is chiefly used in braids, felt hats, linings, plushes, etc., and the coarser kinds for carpets and low-grade woollen fabrics. ————————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 Mohair Brilliantine
A lustre dress fabric made from two-fold cotton warp, yarn dyed, and mohair weft, cross-dyed after weaving, usually 30-in., 35/40 yards, 2/60's cotton warp and 16's mohair weft. The cloth is very similar to " Lustre Orleans," but of a closer texture.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Mohair Brilliantine

3 Mohair Beaver Plush
A pile fabric made with a cotton back and mohair pile. The pile is long and harsh to the touch. The cotton warp is yarn dyed, and the piece cross-dyed usually dark brown. The pile works loose on the back, and gives a rough appearance with a full handle.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Mohair Beaver Plush

4 Mohair Braid
A black or other coloured braid made of two cords woven together of mohair yarn. Also known as Russian braid. -
5 Mohair Coney Seal
This is the mohair beaver plush, but dyed black. -
6 Mohair Lustres
A general term which includes black dyed dress or lining fabrics woven of cotton warp and mohair weft. They are graded in three types: - Lustres, the cheapest variety; Brilliantine, closely woven and has the most lustre; Sicilian, is heaviest and the most durable (see under each of above terms) -
7 Mohair Rugs
A rug made of mohair warp and cotton weft and backing, having a warp pile face. It is lustrous and has a good appearance. -
8 Mohair Sicilian
Similar to Mohair Brilliantine, but much coarser in quality and heavier. -
9 Mohair Yarns
These are spun from Angora goat hair. They are very lustrous and are used for coats, linings, etc. -
10 Van Mohair
Hair in natural colours from crossed Angora mohair goat. The material requires special treatment owing to the danger from fallen fleeces and the consequent possibility of anthrax. -
11 Check Mohair
A dress material especially produced for children's frocks from wool yams in light weights, plain weave, small check designs. In pink, blue, brown, red and black checks on a white ground. Made 24-in. wide and in several qualities. -
12 Astrakhan
A soft, curly, strong wool, obtained from a sheep reared in Astrakhan, Persia, and other Asiatic districts. A cloth of silk and worsted, or all worsted, with a long loosely curled pile, and put on the market as an imitation of real astrakhan. Mohair yam is largely used. The worsted fabric is made in widths 56 to 70-in., 48 X 78 picks, two-fold botany warp, about 2 / 56's to 2 / 70's, and the weft four picks single botany and two picks three-fold mohair. The mohair weft yarn is curled before using, which, when cut (similar to velveteen) causes the free ends of the tufts to curl on the face of the cloth. This cut fabric is known as "Polarian". Sometimes the pile is left uncut. A good quality cloth is made 48-in. wide, 48-ends, 150 picks per inch, 2 / 30's cotton warp, one pick 24's cotton weft, and two picks 88's mohair. A knitted fabric is also on the market as an imitation astrakhan. This is the cheapest method, but does not give the same weight or wearing quality. Astrakhan fabrics are made in two ways: - (1) On the weft principle, in which by the shrinking of the ground texture the pile weft is thrown up as a loop; (2) as a warp texture, in which loops are formed by the warp yarn passing over wires. -
13 Blister Cloth
A fine woollen cloth, woven on the double-cloth principle with botany warp and weft for face and mohair warp and weft for back. The figuring produced by interchanging face and back is developed during finishing. The botany parts shrink and the mohair bulges on the face. Many qualities are made. One quality is made from 2/40's mohair and 2/60's botany yarns in both warp and weft. The yarns are one end mohair and one end botany. Practically all crimps and crepons are blister cloths (see Crimps) -
14 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. -
15 Brilliantine
A dress cloth of cotton warp and lustre worsted weft; about 2/80's cotton, 24's worsted. Generally of a plain weave, but jacquard designs are sometimes used. A soft calender finish is put on the cloth. Another style is used for linings with a stiff finish in several qualities; plain weave, such as 72 X 72 per inch, 2/100's cotton warp and single 26's mohair weft, as shown in illustration. Glace Brilliantines have coloured cotton warps and undyed mohair weft. Pekin stripe Brilliantines are the Pekin stripe with mohair weft. The dress varieties are made 50-in. grey and give about 44/45-in. finished. The lining cloth is in several widths. -
16 Curl Effects
These are imitation weft pile fabrics and are obtained by the use of a shrinking with a non-shrinking weft, such as woollen and mohair yarns. The picking may be one of each or two of each alternately. The wool weft weave plain and the mohair is floated as required. The cloth is milled and shrinks in width, but as the mohair does not shrink the floats are caused to loop on the surface. The warp is generally of cotton yarn. -
17 Angora Cloth
A fabric known as "Angora" is made from a cotton warp and mohair weft in plain weave. One quality is 50 X 56 per inch, 18's cotton 26's mohair. -
18 Crepon
A crepe-like structure obtained in several ways, such as (1) a combination of material; (2) combination of weaves; (3) combination of material and weaves; (4) by special chemical processes. Crepons are true crepes because the fabric when finished is crinkled. The terms " crepe " and " crepon " are now used for any fabric of the crepe style, produced by any of the four methods given above. The crepes made for shipping to India, China, South America and other markets in cotton are produced by methods (2) in dobby looms and from 6 to 16 shafts used. Standard makes are as follows: - 34-in. 120 yards, 58 X 62, 34's T., 16's W., 291/2-lb., 12 shafts; 35-in. 120 yard, 68 X 68, 36's T., 22's W., 28-lb., 8 shafts; 56-in. 120 yard, 72 X 76, 36's T., 24's W., 46-lb. 8 shafts. Wool crepons are made with mohair for the face warp and weft and botany for the back warp and weft. As botany shrinks more than mohair the crepe effect is obtained when the cloth is finished

19 Curl Yarn
A type of fancy yarn twist, in which loops are formed of mohair or thick cotton or two ordinary threads. One of the ordinary or thin threads and the thick cotton or mohair are twisted together, the thin thread being tightly held and the thick one slackly twisted round it. This two-fold thread is then twisted in the reverse direction with another thin thread. The reverse twisting throws up the thick thread in the form of loops. The curls or loops vary in size from small to large. Small loops are usually on yarns intended for dress goods, large ones for astrakhans, etc. -
20 Dogskin
A term still heard, but very seldom. It is a weft plush fabric made from two-fold cotton warp and cotton and mohair weft; the mohair forms the pile. Sometimes called " imitation sealskin."
