As lofty as soft clouds, this luxurious fiber is a dream to use. Camel down is the soft warm inner down of a bactrian camel with a fiber structure similar to cashmere. The down is usually 1-3 inches long with a micron count of about 15-22 microns. Bactrian camels (two humps) have two coats: the warm inner coat of down and a rough outer coat which is long and hairy. This is for the soft down. Camels shed their fiber in clumps consisting of both coats and is normally gathered then dehaired. Since they produce about 5 pounds of fiber annually, it is usually available by special order only and retailing for up to $50 per pound. The total weight of each bundle is 4 ounces. You will be very happy with this high quality fiber for your spinning project.
