  • Get to Know Exotic Fiber!
    Get to know Exotic Fiber! In this article we will go over how camel, alpaca, yak and vicuna fiber is made into yarn. As we have all been learning, we can make fiber out of just about anything. These exotic fibers range from great everyday items to once in a lifetime chance to even see. In this article we will touch on camel, alpaca, yak and vicuna fiber. Camelids refers to the biological family that contain camels, alpacas and vicunas. In general, camelids are two-toed, longer necked, herbivores that have adapted to match their environment. Yaks are part of the bovidae family which also contain cattle, sheep, goats, antelopes and several other species. Yaks can get up to 7 feet tall and weight upwards of 1,300 pounds. Domesticated yaks are considerably smaller. Lets start with Camels! The Bactrian Camel, which produces the finest fiber, are commonly found in Mongolia. They can live up to 50 years and be over 7 feet tall at the hump. These two-humped herbivores hair is mainly imported from Mongolia. In ancient times, China, Iraq, and Afghanistan were some of the first countries to utilize camel fiber. Bactrian Camels are double coated to withstand both high mountain winters and summers in the desert sand. The coarse guard hairs can be paired with sheep wool, while the undercoat is very soft and a great insulator. Every spring Bactrian Camels naturally shed their winter coats, making it easier to turn into yarn. Back when camel caravans were the main form of transportation of people and goods, a "trailer" was a person that followed behind the caravan collecting the fibers.

In the present days the villagers own a job with stable income. Young men now have the option of not leaving their home so as to seek jobs elsewhere. It provides for the Tibetan family a way to transfer from being nomads to the modern life and to earn happiness and respect with their own hands. Norlha has also taken positive influence on the ecological environment of the local prairie. Introduction As the Tibetan Plateau has been suffering from the ecological crises resulting from overgrazing, such as pasture degradation, soil degradation, etc, Norlha is Home to 1500 nomads, 6000 yaks and 30 000 sheep, Ritoma is a small village helping improve the situation through buying from Tibetans the yak khullu and sitting on the Tibetan Plateau over 3000 meters above sea level.

ABSTRACT Very fine and soft down fibers of native goats can have a potential as a valuable raw-material source ARTICLE HISTORY for high-quality products. Therefore, down fibers were collected from native goats raised in different Received: 23.05.2018 regions of Turkey, then their physical properties were analyzed and results were compared with Accepted: 21.12.2018 cashmere fibers. Along with fiber diameter and fiber length, which are the most important parameters regarding spinnability of a textile fiber, fiber scale characteristics of Anatolian native goat down fibers were reported for the first time. In this respect, scale pattern, mean scale density, cuticle scale height, curvature, visual fiber crimp were analyzed as well as fiber tenacity and breaking elongation properties. The economical potential of these fibers in Turkey were also investigated. The findings of this work showed that average fiber fineness changed between 14-19 µm while the single fiber length varied as 33.0–61.0 mm. The mean scale density and cuticle scale height were between 6-7 scales/100 µm and 0.41-0.55 µm, respectively while the visual crimp frequency was 5-6 crimps/cm.
