Abstract :Although mohair fibres are usually white or off-white, mohair from some animals can be coloured (e.g. brown, black or reddish). Reddish brown mohair fibres containing colour pigments are produced in Türkiye and are known as \\\"Gingerline\\\" in the world. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of mohair obtained from Ankara goats raised in Siirt province of Türkiye in textile clothing field. For this purpose, three different colours of mohair were obtained and the fineness, length, diameter variation, strength and elongation at break values of these fibres were analysed. It was found that pigmentation had a significant effect on fibre fineness, diameter variation, fibre length and fibre strength. Among the coloured mohair, it can be said that brown mohair is the best quality in terms of both fineness and diameter variation.
