Our camel fiber comes from Northern part of China, in Gansu, Inner Mongolia and Ning Xia provinces. Camel fiber is harvest in
June to August each year.
Camel fiber processing involves the below main steps.
1) Hand combing
2) Hand sorting
3) Washing and dry (Industrial word is "Scouring")
4) Dehairing
Each step requires tedious labor and experience/skills. It's very important to know all yak fibers have below three main quality criteria. Our camel fiber quality
a) Fiber micron< 17.8.
b) Fiber average length > 44 mm (or >1.73 inches)
c) Coarse hair content < 2%
Unlike wool, cashmere, camel, yak fiber mixed with down and guard hair, any fiber is < 30 micron is named "down", any fiber > 30 micron is called "hair". The dehairing process is aiming to separate the two. Industrial standard for good quality ready_spin_fiber fiber should contain less than
7% hair. Home spinning market widely distributes & circulates low quality MC10
(10% coarse hair), MC7 (7% coarse hair).
As world market pays premium on finer micron and longer fiber length. High content of hair will results an un-even yarn, un-even yarn will then be weaker… plus high content hair will cause skin itchy and make the textile item less comfort or even un-wearable. Because of so, animal fiber process in particular, dehairing process still remains trade-secret in most parts of animal fiber producing world.

Each step requires tedious labor and experience/skills. It's very important to know all yak fibers have below three main quality criteria.
a) Fiber micron (or called fiber diameter) < 19 micron
b) Average fiber length< 28 mm

Unlike wool, cashmere, camel, yak fiber mixed with down and guard hair, any fiber is < 30 micron is named "down", any fiber > 30 micron is called "hair". The dehairing process is aiming to separate the two. Industrial standard for good quality ready_spin_fiber fiber should contain less than
0.7% hair. Our dehaired yak hair contains < 0.5% hair.
