What is the difference between mohair and kid mohair?

Mohair is a yarn made from angora hair with exceptional elasticity and durability. Mohair is strong, thin, glossy fiber and one of the best natural materials, you can also easily dye it. Kid mohair is fiber from goats up to six months. This is a thin and soft fiber, but with a lower luster than regular mohair.
