Dear friends,
Born in an all-white angora goat herd in Oklahoma was a rare treasure: a colored doe. That may not sound extraordinary at first, but in the angora world, it’s remarkable.
For millennia, angora goats were bred to be pure white because white mohair dyes predictably. Any kid born with colored mohair was considered a flaw and culled.
Then, about fifty years ago, a small group of passionate breeders believed those natural colors were worth saving. They began rescuing colored kids out of white herds and, through thoughtful and selective breeding - including crosses with colored dairy and meat goats - worked to restore color within purebred angoras.
It took decades of dedication to achieve mohair as soft and fine as their white counterparts. Today, a colored angora born in a white herd is a little miracle…a celebration!
So we packed the truck, drove halfway across the country, and returned home with that special doe, plus her twin sister with a tiny color spot. And since we were already out and about, two promising young bucks from Missouri came home with us to add fresh genetics to our herd.
We’re always working toward improvement: conformationally correct goats, finer mohair, and richer natural colors.
We treasure colored angora goats in our herd. Designed by nature - each natural shade is unique, unrepeatable, and created by the goats themselves.
Their natural colored mohair becomes our mélange socks, where every stitch blends natural hues into one harmonious colorway.
And our naturally colored mohair throws carry their own one-of-a-kind palette, a true reflection of the goats they came from.
When you choose natural colored mohair, you’re not just staying cozy…you’re helping preserve the legacy of colored angora goats.
