Mohair is used in scarves, winter hats, suits, sweaters, coats, socks and home furnishing. Mohair fiber is also found in carpets, wall fabrics, craft yarns, and many other fabrics, and may be used as a substitute for fur. Because its texture resembles fine human hair, mohair is often used in making high-grade doll wigs or in rooting customized dolls.

Mohair is a very soft yarn when compared with other natural and synthetic fibers. Due to mohair's lacking prominent, protruding scales along the hair's surface, it is often blended with wool or alpaca. Blending the heavily scaled wool helps the smooth mohair fibers hold their shape and stick together when spun into yarn.  Mohair is also valued for certain other unique characteristics: it is warmer than other fibers, even when used to make a light-weight garment, and is often blended with wool for this reason; and mohair fibers have a distinctive luster created by the way they reflect light. Combined with mohair's ability to absorb dyes exceptionally well, pure mohair yarns are usually recognizable for their vivid, saturated colours.

Fibers from young goats are softest and are used to manufacture yarn for clothing. Fibers from mature goats are used to produce such things as rugs and carpets.<ref name="Mohair">{{cite web|title=Mohair|url=http://www.naturalfibres2009.org/en/fibres/mohair.html|publisher=United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization|access-date=18 August 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140614191405/http://www.naturalfibres2009.org/en/fibres/mohair.html|archive-date=14 June 2014}}</ref> Mohair is also used in [[Ski skins|'climbing skins']] for [[Ski mountaineering|randonnée skiing]] and [[ski touring]].
