Default Name that fleece

I've never seen an angora goat let alone felt it's fleece. Can anyone
give me an idea of how I might tell if this is mohair?

well, it's def. not merino, as you said. Not only too looong stapled
(unless it's your own Shrek the sheep LOL) but merino has a much crimpier
nature, almost frizzy. The mohair I have seen is honestly like angel hair,
that lock looks like a leicester to me too.
