Goatskin is a very durable leather with minimal stretch, whilst
also possessing a supple and flexible handle. This makes it ideal
for all types of upholstery, such as deep button-tufting, desk and
table inlay.
The entire body of the goat is covered with mohair and there are no
guard hairs. The locks constantly grow to four inches or more in
length. Angora crossbreeds, such as the pygora and the nigora, have
been created to produce mohair and/or cashgora on a smaller,
easier-to-manage animal.
