From a posting on Ravelry (a knitting/crochet website; membership
required): on a box of newly delivered yarn "Mole hair". The thread
derailed from there, in predictable ways, but not before someone noted
that a google search on "mole hair yarn" returns the Wikipedia article
on mohair pretty high up on the list.
