Cream Baby Camel Fiber Combed Top Roving for Spinning Dyeing Blend Luxury Undyed Wool Natural White Tan

from $13.99
Sold by 2, 4 or 8 oz.

This is a beautiful, natural cream colored baby Camel down fiber. Usually Camel fiber is a darker caramel color, but this is referred to as 'white' baby camel, because it is lighter in color. It's about the color of natural cashmere.

Baby Camel hair is considered to be a luxury fiber in its dehaired form with a micron count of 17-19 microns and amazingly soft.

Bactrian camels produce an undercoat of soft, strong fiber and a coarse outer coat of strong fiber. The animal shed its hair ever year and is collected by the herdsmen. The fiber from the soft undercoat is prized for its amazing softness. It is obtained commercially by using a carding process called de-hairing to separate the coarse outer fibers from the soft undercoat. Let me tell you, commercial dehairing is a wonderful thing, because I have brushed goats for their cashmere and it comes off with lots of the soft undercoat of cashmere, but with a lot of very coarse, rigid straight outercoat hairs, and I cannot imagine having to separate the two by hand. It would take forever!

Camel fiber is similar in properties to wool and warm in cold weather. This fiber is lighter in color because it comes from lighter, younger camels.

I store this and all my fibers carefully in my smoke free, pet free home. This is in stock and ships very quickly.
