Kid Mohair
Kleine Materialkunde
Als Mohair werden die Haare der Angoraziege bezeichnet. Je nach Alter der Ziege und damit dem Durchmesser des Ziegenhaares wird die Mohairfaser eingeteilt in "Kid", Younger Goat" und "Adult". Je jünger das Tier ist, desto feiner ist das Haar. Als "Kid Mohair" wird die erste Schur einer Ziege bezeichnet. Das Haar ist besonders fein und lässt sich deshalb auch besonders gut locken. Da es diese erste Schur nur ein einziges Mal im Leben einer Angora-Ziege geben kann, ist die Kid Mohairfaser nicht nur wegen ihrer Feinheit, sondern auch wegen ihrer vergleichsweise geringen Verfügbarkeit besonders wertvoll und teuer. Gelockte Mohairplüsche aus Kid Mohair wurden von den Plüschwebereien in den 1990er Jahren entwickelt. Heute wird diese Qualität von den Webereien nur noch selten angeboten, da die ihr zugrundeliegende Kid Mohairwolle kaum noch erhältlich ist und sich der Preis der Faser auf dem Börsenmarkt vervielfacht hat. Je länger das Florhaar dabei ist, desto wertvoller ist das Mohairfell.
Kid Mohair
Little material science
The hair of the Angora goat is called mohair. Depending on the age of the goat and thus the diameter of the goat hair, the mohair fiber is divided into "kid", "younger goat" and "adult". The younger the animal, the finer the hair. The first shearing of a goat is called "Kid Mohair". The hair is particularly fine and can therefore be curled particularly well. Since this first shearing can only happen once in the life of an Angora goat, the kid mohair fiber is not only particularly valuable and expensive because of its fineness, but also because of its comparatively low availability. Curly mohair plush made from kid mohair was developed by plush weavers in the 1990's. Today, this quality is only rarely offered by the weaving mills, since the kid mohair wool on which it is based is hardly available anymore and the price of the fiber on the stock market has multiplied. The longer the pile hair is, the more valuable the mohair fur is.
