Write the difference between angora goat & the merino sheep
Answers
Answer:
Angora goat is a goat and the merino sheep is a sheep
Answer:
Merino wool comes from merino sheep. They are one of the only breeds of sheep whose wool has no guard hairs, making it very soft and easy to wear, even for those people who usually find wool itchy.
Angora is confusing, because there are angora goats and angora rabbits, and we use fibers from both to make yarn. The fiber from angora goats is called mohair, while that from rabbits is called angora. Mohair is very soft, but the wool collected from angora rabbits is even more so. It's also incredibly expensive. But you can spin very thin, strong yarn from it, that knits up into luxurious hats, scarves, and other items.
The fineness of wool is graded by microns. Merino, generally considered one of the most prefered wools for garments, is measured at less than 24 microns in diameter. Mohair from angora goats will be as fine as 30 microns or less when they are kids, but the fibers coarsen as the goats get older. Angora rabbits produce fiber that is only 14 microns thick, making it a match for cashmere in silky luxury.
