The camel down used for the CAMEL GOBI 3 Yarn comes from herds raised by nomadic Ouigours and Mongols in the Gobi Desert, in southern Mongolia. Subjected to extreme temperatures (from -50°C at night in winter to +50°C during the day in summer), the Gobi camel has developed a down which is one of the warmest fibres known to date.
CAMEL GOBI 3 is a 3-ply Yarn, 100% natural, without treatment or dyeing, just softened. It is extremely soft, silky and above all warm. It is knitted with # 3 needles. These natural Yarns from extraordinary exotic fleeces can be washed by hand, if possible with organic soap, without softener, without spinning and drying flat. Like yak down, which is already very soft, camel down has the property of softening even more with successive washes
