Camel fibre for spinning

Surprisingly soft luxury fibre. The hair has developed to protect camels from extreme cold as well as keeping them cool in the heat of the desert.

Often blended with wool. Takes dye well, but its own colour will of course affect the end result.

Fibres like this tend to have a shorter staple. They can be spun on their own but may be more difficult than a longer fibre. You may get more even results if you blend it with something longer.

You will probably get best results if you spin from the fold or make rolags and use long draw. Give it plenty of twist, maybe using a faster ratio on your wheel.
