I once spun some camel hair of varying types, and I found the “feel”
depended on which part of the coat the fiber war from. Camel “down”
(the underside of the coat) was very soft and fluffy but had a short
staple, whereas the outer portions of the coat were hairy and coarse.
Also, I found that pure camel fiber is not very elastic, so it tended
to stretch out and needed frequent reshaping. However, if it is blended
with a reasonable quantity of wool, that should not be as much of a
problem. |
