Wind-Gait Farm, nestled in the South Glastonbury fruit orchards, owned and managed by the Preli Family, breeds and raises registered Angora Goats producing fine Mohar fibers. Admired and desired the world over, Mohair is prized for its luster, softness and strength. It is stronger and warmer than wool and is not subject to shrinking or wrinkling. We produce three different styles of yarn,perfect for weaving or knitting mittens, socks, sweaters and other projects. These yarns can be knitted together to create a beautiful, unique, finished project.
