- About this item
- The camel wool comes from the two-humped Bactrian camels of Gobi desert (Mongolia). Since camel wool is premium fiber it is often blended with types of wool to make it more economical.
- Helps regulate body temperature and allows it to breathe. Recommended for those who experience night sweats or hot flashes. Camel hair contains thermostatic properties that regulate moisture and temperature under all thermal conditions. It makes human body warmer in cold temperatures in cooler in warm temperature. This is how Mongolian camels got adapted to extreme temperature fluctuations in the desert (100 degrees in summer and minus 40 in winter).
- Hypoallergenic, ideal solution for those who are allergic to polyester or other artificial fibers. Wool sanitized with non-toxic detergent. Dust-mite resistant. Encased in dense fabric that prevents shedding. Piped edges for durability.
- Compartmentalized design keeps wool in place assuring uniform distribution of wool without cold spots. Useful life: at least 10 years, will last longer if used with a duvet cover. Can be used with twin size duvet cover for cleanliness, to protect from pet hair and extend the life of the comforter.
- Soft, fluffy & warm. Compared to goose down, wool comforters have no poking/flying feathers and the filling doesn't shift like down does. Unlike polyester/down alternative comforters, wool comforters are antistatic, lighter, temperature regulating and don't harbor dust mites. No chemical smell. Care: Dry clean if necessary, not washable due its size; Small stains can be removed with water and soap. Color: beige.
Adult camel can produce only 10 to 20 lbs of wool annually. Since it is a premium fiber, camel hair is usually blended with other types of wool to make it more economical. Camel wool is known for its thermostatic properties. It stabilizes the temperature by insulating the animal from the extreme cold conditions in the desert at night and keeping it cool from the heat in the day. Camel hair is lightweight because it is hollow. That hollow space in the center acts as a vacuum making the wool super insulating without added weight. Camel hair provides the best insulation of all the wools, which is why it is used for comforters and coats. Camels produce longer fibers than sheep, which results in a more durable finished product. Camel wool comforters are likely to outlive other natural fiber comforters. Camel hair is also extremely waterproof, which is why the Mongolian herdsmen use it for coats and the outer layers of their tents (“yurts”). Like lamb wool, camel hair wicks away moisture caused from perspiration and breathing. Like lamb wool, camel hair naturally repels moisture and dirt so is inherently clean. Camel hair cannot be exposed to heat as it may remove lanolin from the fibers and can damage the structure, resulting in broken fibers and decreased durability. Actual size of the latest shipment is 70"x86" (disregard the size entered in the 's catalog that we are unable to change).
