RE: Nice mohair ??

Date: May 27, 2010

The goat itself is that expensive, compared to buying a white goat, which is why the fleece off a colored angora is so much more expensive than the fleece off a white angora. smile

Thank you Angela (you aren't Angela S from Mansfield, TX are you?).
All that information is great to have here in our forum. I have a friend who used to raise angoras till the divorce. The goat farm is no longer, sad to say. They had mostly whites. But the hair is fabulous (I have 5 hydes in different lengths). I learned a lot from my friend (I call her the goat lady, even though she has no more goats hehehe).

I learned a lot from her but even more from you. If you like, you may stay a member of our forum, speak up now and then, or just monitor if you like. We can't have commercial advertising/sales on the site but we do pm each other back and forth if we find something good. So feel free to pm me when you find out about the kids in the spring.

Again, thanks for the information

I am Angela from Minnesota, but I do know Angela S. from Mansfield, TX! If you guys ever have questions "from the farm", send me an e-mail and I will gladly answer them. You can find me at www.redfalconranch.com I just happened to find you guys while researching comments on mohair so that I can stay current on what reborn artists want in their mohair. Take care everyone!

Interesting poll Steve. Although in all fairness you would also have to add:
Red Falcon Ranch
Secrist
Angela in Tx
Sheryl in Or

Then of course you would have to distinguish between the actual goat ranches and those who are just distributors (as they get their mohair "from" somewhere else).
Just sayin'...

Have you heard of Delta Dawn mohair? I think she is america based. Her mohair is good quality. Usually has sales also so mohair isn't too expensive.

Some of the forumers use her hair. They say it's good stuff! :)

I've heard many people say they really like the Delta Dawn mohair.
