This fabric is highly valued for its durability and strength, making it resistant to shedding. Mohair rollers typically feature a phenolic or plastic core that is solvent-resistant, enhancing their longevity. As a natural material, mohair is also highly absorbent, making it an excellent choice for paint rollers.
