Baby Bactrian Camel (18 μm)

Camel down is a luxurious fiber that comes from the soft, fine inner coat of a Bactrian camel. It can only be collected a few weeks a year when the camel blows its coat, so it is rare and highly prized. Bactrian camel has a gorgeous natural sheen that stands out amongst all the other fine downy fibers. Our baby camel is the finest grade available—most camel fiber on the market has a micron count in the 20s. This is a wonderfully light, fluffy roving with a 3” staple length, which makes it pleasant to work with.
