But what is mohair, and how do you work with it? You may be picturing a 1960s cross between shag carpeting and Motown music clothing styles.<\/p>\n<p>But mohair is actually a classy, comfy fabric type that feels like a cross between wool and velvet. That\u2019s because it\u2019s made from the hair of the Angora goat, which produces a silk-like fabric. Even faux mohair textures work to match the natural softness.<\/p>\n<p>On an aesthetic level, mohair looks velvety and comes in a wide range of colors. Some mohair has a longer, almost fur-like texture than others. It can be used in a wide range of upholstery projects. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/307581849526247818\/\">photo above<\/a> shows how well the fabric looks on vintage pieces.
