Exclusive, Finest, Baby Camel Yarn

Inspired by the colours and textures of the endless waves of sand dunes broken only by the occasional rocky slope found in the deserts of Central Asia, we bring you an extraordinarily soft, luxurious and quite unique yarn: Pascuali Camel DK.

Pascuali Camel wool is derived from the undercoat of the iconic two-humped Bactrian camels found across the Alashan region of Inner Mongolia. Called the ships of the desert for their endurance and ability to cope with the heat and lack of water, Bactrian camels are known for their long, lustrous hair. They have two layers of hair: guard hair, the outer one which is coarse and straight; and the undercoat, which is soft and fine.  Bactrian camels face freezing winters and scorching summers, but their undercoat offers exceptional insulation, keeping them warm during the cold months and cool during the war season. It is precisely this layer of hair (also called baby Camel hair) that we have used for our yarn.

Because this i- cord is really just a hollow tube, Pascuali Camel DK is extraordinarily lightweight and stretchy.  Garments knit with it allow free body movement yet return to their original shape making them resistant to wrinkling and sagging. And because of the chains and how they’re locked in, it hardly pills. It is nearly as soft as cashmere with very high thermoregulating properties keeping you warm in winter and nice and cool in the summer. What´s more: Camel wool is an entirely biodegradable fibre, which means that it does not contribute to pollution when it is discarded.
