- Insulating - Mohair's hollow fibres do not conduct heat like wool and provides good insulation, even when wet.
- Durability - Mohair can be twisted and bent without damage to the fibre; it is the most durable of animal fibres.
- Comfort - Mohair does not irritate the skin, even for people who are sensitive to wool.
- Strength - Mohair is stronger than steel of the same diameter.
- Shrink resistance - Mohair fabrics shrink much less than wool because mohair's smooth fibres do not felt.
- Elasticity - Mohair is very elastic; it can be stretched up to 30%, and will spring back to shape; mohair garments resist wrinkling, stretching, or sagging.
- Moisture transfer - Mohair easily absorbs and releases moisture, moving perspiration away from the skin. It is comfortable to wear in cold and hot weather.
- Luster - One of mohair's most important qualities is its ability to take dye and to display brilliant colours that resist fading by time or hard wear.
- Lightweight - Mohair's smooth fibres can be made into fabrics that have a cooling effect. It is ideal for summer garments.
- Non-flammability - Mohair will not burn unless it is exposed to a direct flame.
- Easy to Wash - Mohair does not felt or shrink.
