  • Connecting Alaska's Fiber Community
    T HE A L A SK A N at UR A L F IBER B USI N ESS A SSOCI at IO N : Connecting Alaska’s Fiber Community Jan Rowell and Lee Coray-Ludden one-and-a-half day workshop in the fall of 2012 rekindled a passion for community AFES Miscellaneous Publication MP 2014-14 among Alaska’s fiber producers and artists. “Fiber Production in Alaska: From UAF School of Natural Resources & Extension Agriculture to Art” provided a rare venue for fiber producers and consumers A Agricultural & Forestry Experiment Station to get together and share a strong common interest in fiber production in Alaska. The workshop was sponsored by the Alaska State Division of Agriculture and organized by Lee Coray-Ludden, owner of Shepherd’s Moon Keep and a cashmere producer. There is nothing new about fiber production in Alaska. The early Russians capitalized on agricultural opportunities wherever they could and domestic sheep and goats were a mainstay in these early farming efforts. But even before the Russians, fiber was historically used for warmth by Alaska’s indigenous people. They gathered their fiber from wild sources, and some tribes handspun it and wove it into clothing, Angora rabbits produce a soft and silky creating beautiful works of art. fiber finer than cashmere. Pictured below is Some of the finest natural fibers in the world come from animals that evolved in Michael, a German angora, shortly before cold, dry climates, and many of these animals are grazers capable of thriving on Alaska’s shearing. Angora rabbits may be sheared, natural vegetation.

  • Module 3 Rev.Indd
    Module 3 • GoNorth! Flora and Fauna: Animal Population chuttui / tuttu caribou © Subhankar Banerjee Module 3 • Flora and Fauna: Animal Population Module Question What are the effects of oil exploration on Arctic wildlife populations? Alert! We have some breaking news from WPH. Team GoNorth! needs your help. When Senator Frank Murkowski of Alaska compared the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to a blank sheet of white paper in his address to the Senate, he did not keep in mind the 150,000 members of the Porcupine caribou herd and the other 250 animal species that call ANWR home. While winter is a time when many of those animals are hibernating or have migrated south, many more remain year-round. “Sometimes it can seem like we’re traveling on an endless conveyor belt of white,” comments expedition leader Paul Pregont. “During blizzards and high winds, the Arctic can seem like a cold and lifeless place. In fact, I have traveled in conditions so hostile that I could barely see past my lead dog, Aksel. But those are also the times that help me realize how special the Arctic really is. During the expedition, however, Team GoNorth! will most likely encounter many different animals like wolves, wolverines, ravens, arctic hare, arctic fox, caribou, ptarmigan, mink, snowy owls and even…polar bears. And that’s just a start. Many smaller mammals and insects spend their winter nestled safely under the snow in the small air space above the ground. There isn’t a day that goes by that team members don’t see some sign that an animal has passed nearby.

See the Zanzibar Tribal Art web site for an explanation and diagram of the life cycle of the various silkworms . YouTube video clip of Silk factory in Beijing Natural silk is one of the strongest textile fibres, which are accounted for by the stretched-out molecular form. Silk (78% protein) is much stiffer than wool in spite of both being proteins made from amino acids chains. Silk fibres have fine draping qualities and are naturally crease-resistant and bring about a warm feel to the skin. Of the 3-4000 metres of fibre in a cocoon, laid out as a figure of eight by the movement of the head of the pupae, less that one third is generally usable with much of the remainder being processed separately. Silk emitted by the silkworm consists of two main proteins, sericin and fibroin, fibroin being the structural center of the silk, and serecin being the sticky material surrounding it. Fibroin is largely made up of the amino acids Gly-Ser-Gly-Ala-Gly-Ala and forms beta pleated sheets, β-keratin. 1 of 9 20/10/2011 08:28 PM Unit - Chemistry of Textiles: Animal Fibres file:///C:/WWW/Courses/CHEM2402/Textiles/Animal_Fibres.html R = H, glycine; R = CH , alanine; R = CH OH, serine 3 2 Hydrogen bonds form between chains, and side chains form above and below the plane of the hydrogen bond network.

  • Identification Guidelines for Shahtoosh & Pashmina
    Shahtoosh (aka Shah tush) is the trade name for woolen garments, usually shawls, made from the hair of the Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii). Also called a chiru, it is considered an endangered species, and the importation of any part or product of Pantholops is prohib- ited by U.S. law. Chiru originate in the high Himalaya Mountains of Tibet, western China, and far northern India where they are killed for their parts. Their pelts are converted into shahtoosh, and horns of the males are taken as trophies. No chirus are kept in captivity, and it reportedly takes three to five individuals to make a single shawl (Wright & Kumar 1997). Trophy Head with Horns of male Pantholops hodgsonii SHAWL COLORS Off-white and brownish beige are the natural colors of the chiru’s pelage. Shahtoosh shawls in these natural colors are the most traditional. How- ever, shahtoosh can be dyed almost any color of the spectrum. Unless the fibers are dyed opaque black, most dyed fibers allow the transmission of light so that the internal characteristics are visible under a compound microscope. (See "Microscopic Characteristics" in Hints for Visual Identification.) DIFFERENT PATTERNS AND/OR DECORATION SIZES - Solid color - Standard shawl 36" x 81" - Plaid - Muffler 12" x 60" - Stripes - Man-size, Blanket 108" x 54" - Edged in wispy fringe - Couturier length (4' x 18' +) - Double color (each side of shawl is a different color) - All-over embroidery APPROXIMATE PRICE RANGES Cost Wholesale Retail Plain $550-$1,000 $700-$2,500 $1,500-$2,450 Pastels $700-$850 $1,300-$2,600 $1,800-$3,000 Checks/Plaids $600-$1,500 $800-$1,180 $1,300-$2,450 Stripe $600-$800 $1,300-$1,800 $2,450-$3,200 Double color $800-$1,000 $1,380-$2,800 $2,100-$3,200 Border embroidery $850-$3,050 $1,080-$1,600 $1,500-$3,200 All-over embroidery $800-$5,000 $1,380-$5,500 $3,000-$6,500 White $1,800 $2,300 $4,600 Above prices are for standard size shawls in year 2000.

  • Grand Opening for U.S. Commercial Dehairing Services Celebrated with Fiber Trials in Springfield, Kentucky
    TO: THE MEDIA CONTACT: Carrie Hull Dehairing Project Manager 95 Tamarack Lane, Sagle ID 83860 208-290-1383 [email protected] FOR RELEASE: IMMEDIATE - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - GRAND OPENING FOR U.S. COMMERCIAL DEHAIRING SERVICES CELEBRATED WITH FIBER TRIALS IN SPRINGFIELD, KENTUCKY Homedale, ID – Every great journey begins with an idea! And, some journeys are destined to never end! Natural Fiber Producers cooperative, developed in 2007, was built on the foundation of profitability and sustainability for U.S. natural fiber producers. That founding idea became a unique cooperative model and provided the stepping-stone for a bigger idea. The Dehairing Project, NFP’s dream-turned journey, began early in 2014 and has reached a milestone this week. Since its arrival in the U.S. in August, the machine has undergone the necessary reassembling transitions under the watchful eye of Gregorio Scarpini, the technician from Cormatex, the Italian manufacturer of this commercial dehairing machine. With assembly and installation near completion, the machine is about to start up and initial calibration and testing commence. The now almost 100 feet of equipment will soon face a most historical time frame. NFP’s Dehairing Project Manager, Carrie Hull, arrived in Kentucky this week, joining Gregorio and the crew of US Natural Fibers (operators of the machine), in perfect time to oversee the initial dehairing process. The first commercial batch of fiber, American Bison or Buffalo fiber from Buffalo Gold and Buffalo Wool Co. of Texas has already begun scouring (washing) at the US Natural Fiber facility in preparation for dehairing. With the fiber and textile industry on the cusp of resurgence, exciting newsworthy events began to unfold this past week.
