Glen Cauffman is a farmer who makes his income selling socks made from Angora goat yarn. His farm started out with just 10 goats, and is now home to almost 300 goats. Moreover, Cauffman is a big advocate for this fabric that many aren't familiar with yet.

As Penn Live writer Jim T. Ryan relates in his article: "That's really the challenge in the business because not enough people know about mohair," Cauffman said. Mohair is the fleece of Angora goats. It's a soft and strong fiber similar to human hair, and comparable to wool in its insulating and moisture-wicking properties. Mohair is shorn from the animal after about six months and sent to spinning facilities where it's drawn into yarn and finer threads, then made into clothing or fabrics.
