The different varieties of wool<\/h2>

Here is a brief discussion of some of the different varieties of wool although there are many more. Each wool has its own characteristics.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/h6>

– Sheep wool<\/h3>

The most classic wool, renowned for its resistance,\u00a0 it is the cheapest wool quality and also the coarsest.
Subject to shrinkage and felting if not maintained properly.<\/p>

– Merino wool<\/h3>

This is the finest grade of sheep wool, finer than traditional sheep wool; there are four main breeds of merino sheep. Its fiber is thermoregulatory and antibacterial.<\/p>

– Lamb’s wool<\/h3>

Lambswool is divided into two categories: lambswool and virgin lambswool. The difference is in the length of the fibers. Lambswool, with shorter fibers, will be very soft and less thick but, therefore, a little less durable. Lambswool is softer than sheep’s wool, and just as warm.<\/p>

– Mohair<\/h3>

Please note: the Angora goat\u00a0 yields a hair from which we can obtain mohair, unlike the Angora rabbit with which produces \u201dangora.\u201d
There are three different qualities of mohair: mohair<\/strong>, kid mohair,<\/strong> and finally the most beautiful and rare, super kid mohair.<\/strong> These three qualities of mohair are distinguished according to the age of the goat for the first two varieties, and a soft down located at the neck of the animal for the third. These animals have a very fine and very soft coat, in particular the super kid. The best qualities of mohair are found in South Africa contrary to idea that it is from Asia.<\/p>

– Angora<\/h3>

This is produced from the long, fine hairs of the Angora Rabbit.<\/p>

– shetland<\/h3>

Comes from a breed of sheep raised on the Shetland Isles, north of Scotland. . The yarn is fluffy and easy to knit<\/p>

– Cashmere<\/h3>

Mainly originating from a region of Central Asia, cashmere is made from goat hair with a diameter of less than 19.5 microns.The number of threads determines the thickness of the cashmere 2 ply, 4 ply, 8 ply etc\u2026 Hygroscopic and insulating, cashmere is warmer and lighter than wool. There are now three hybrid breeds producing a quality extremely close to cashmere wool!<\/p>

– The alpaca<\/h3>

Alpaca comes from a mammal of the camelid family, the alpaca PACOS llama, bred mainly in South America. Thermoregulatory and insulating (7 times higher than that of wool).
At the start of space exploration missions, NASA equipped its astronauts with clothing made from alpaca.
There are different varieties including the BABY Alpaca and the ROYAL alpaca. their fibers are very soft and silky, comparable to extremely resistant silk.<\/p>

– The yak<\/h3>

Living in the highlands of Central Asia, the yak molts in late winter and the breeders collect the wool. We must distinguish the yak wool which can be rough, from the khullu (the light down located under the belly of the animal).
at the end of winter, the yak moults. The light down under the belly of the animal (the khullu) .<\/p>

– The vicu\u00f1a<\/h3>

Comes from a species of South American mammal that lives in the highlands of the Andes, part of the camelid family; the Incas called it the wool of the gods Softer, rarer and more expensive than alpaca or cashmere, the vicu\u00f1a remains forever one of the most luxurious fibers (for purists) in the world.<\/p>

– The qiviut<\/h3>

Coming from an ancient animal as impressive as it is rare, the arctic muskox, known as the \u201cmuskox,\u201d the fiber is stronger and eight times warmer than sheep’s wool. It is one of the rarest and most precious wools ever produced.<\/p>

– The guanaco<\/h3>

– The lama<\/h3>

And many others wool fibers: Camel, Baby Camel, Macina, Dongola and Nilgiri, produce wool in Africa and India as well as Avikalin, Avivastra, Dormer and Rabo Largo.<\/p>
