The Cape mohair market delivered strong results on the third auction of the winter season despite a stronger local currency. Young goat mohair in particular attracted keen interest due to better demand for mohair in the industrial knitting sector. Super kid mohair continues to attract premium prices especially lots with good length which is suitable for application in weaving. Low clean yield remains a point of concern pointing to dryer conditions in the Karoo as well as high vegetable matter content in clips from certain areas.
