CAMELHAIR
The camel (Camelus Bactrianus) belongs to the family of Camelidi.
This animal lives principally in south-east and central Asia,
in the regions which include Mongolia, China and Gobi Desert.
This type of animal which can reach 4 meters in height, offers one
of the most interesting fibers for insulations and fabrics.
The gathering of this fiber is done with combing, shearing or with
the recollection by hand of the fiber itself during the annual
moult which occurs in late spring, during which most of the hair
falls from the neck and can last up to eight weeks.
The fiber of the Bactrian Camel is about 20 microns in diameter
and has a length from 2,5 up to 12,5 cm. The finer, softest and most
luxurious fiber, called Baby Camelhair, is gathered from the Camel
which is still a puppy and is about 16/18 microns. Thanks to its
finesses and quality, Camelhair insulation is often considered an
excellent substitute to Cashmere fiber, due also to the desert habitat
in which the animals live, that submit them to frequent temperature
changes, making their fur a great thermoregulator.
Camelhair, with a light golden brown color, due to his thermal properties
which can provide warmth with light weight, has become an excellent
product in clothing. Its softness and finesse make it a wonderful product
capable to absorb great amounts of heated air, transforming the
fiber in a perfect insulation for wintertime. Furthermore, being hygroscopic,
ensure moisture absorption keeping the body dry and thus
promoting physical wellness.
