ABOUT US: We started building an Angora goat herd nearly a decade ago under the Ad Maiora brand. Ad Maiora is a Latin phrase, meaning “Towards Greater Things”. We bought goats from all over New Zealand in order to combine a variety of genetics. With meticulous selective breeding we managed to build a herd of good quality, award winning animals, showing major improvements in mohair characteristics and animal size (see attached photos).
However, good breeding only contributes to around a third to the quality of the fibre. The remaining two thirds are attributed to the health and general well-being of the animal. Our goats are well fed and taken care of, and in return they reward us with exquisite, award winning fleeces, which we then use to produce a variety of products for the craft industry (www.etsy.com/nz/shop/AdMaioraAngoras). We currently run a small herd of goats on our 18ha farmlet.
Our products are trackable throughout the supply chain. This product are grown on our farm located on the Banks Peninsula, New Zealand.

WHY MOHAIR? Mohair, also known as the “noble fibre” or the “diamond fibre” is growing in popularity. Mohair yarn is prized by knitters and crocheters for its special qualities:
• outstanding lustre and shine -the lustre of mohair is one of its most important characteristics. The outer scales of the mohair fibre reflect light, giving garments made with mohair a natural sheen. This lustre helps dyed mohair to resist fading over time.
• wrinkle resistant - mohair can stretch an average of 30% over its entire length before being able to spring back into shape. Because of this characteristic, mohair products do not wrinkle, stretch or sag during wearing.
• high affinity for dyes - mohair takes dye exceptionally well. Mohair yarns are usually recognizable for their vivid saturated colours and because of the fibre structure the dye does not easily fade after use.
• moisture wicking - mohair absorbs about 30% of its weight in moisture – without the wearer even noticing. It also dries rapidly. These properties allow it to remain cool in summer.
• great insulator – making it feel warm in winter.
• strong and durable – it is one of the world's strongest and most durable fibres, due to its unique structure. Mohair is extremely durable because of its high tensile strength. Garments made with mohair will therefore last a very long time.
• flame retardant - mohair is valued for its flame-resistance.
• soft and silky – another reason this luxury fibre is so highly prized.
