Angorawolle

German. "# wool of a certain kind of goats (Capra hircus angorensis)"

Fine wools are produced by members of breeds of Capra hircus, but subspecies Capra hircus angorensis is not in Mammal Species of the World, Catalog of Life, WP, or Wikispecies, though six other species are. DCDuring (talk) 02:35, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

In any case, angora wool is from the Angora rabbit, not the Angora goat. The hair of the goat is called mohair.__Gamren (talk) 12:02, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. We could use a correct definition in addition to the one under challenge. DCDuring (talk) 19:28, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

This is wrong! Hair of angora goat is angora wool or mohair. Only later people called rabbit hair angola wool. Archearchy (talk) 10:08, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Easily attested.

Also, OP's comment isn't about Angorawolle but regarding Capra hircus angorensis - which is also often found at Google Books.

2nd comment too isn't really about Angorawolle - for which see e.g. zeno.org, duden.de.
