Soft, cuddly materials trigger a warm and particularly pleasant feeling, when you get in touch. Here you will like to cuddle up.

Among the softest and noblest wool types we count:

Mohair

Fine Merino

Cashmere

Alpaca

The length of fiber is making the difference here. Longer fibers have a fine shine and they are only slightly curled. These long-haired wool varieties are usually characterized by a high volume with low weight. Brushed up you will feel like in a down bed. Short fiber materials look a bit matt, but they are also very fine and soft.

These fluffy wools are very popular for our custom made items. Blended fabrics with these components are also highly recommended.

Mohair is probably the lightest natural fiber and it is one of the most precious types of wool thanks to its special characteristics.

The long-fibred white wool comes from the Angora goat, not to be confused with the Angora rabbit (see Angora). The curly hair is very soft and has a nice shiny appearance.

The finer the fiber, the softer and smoother the wool feels on the skin. The degree of softness of the wool depends mainly on the age of the animal. Basically, the younger the animal, the softer the fiber.

The special comfort of this wool is not only due to the fineness of the fibers:

• Mohair absorbs moisture up to 30% of its own weight – without feeling wet.
• At the same time the material is water repellent.
• Warming in winter, cooling in summer.
• Thanks to the dry wearing climate, it has an antibacterial effect

Merino is incredibly versatile and varies very much in fineness. Again, the finer the fiber, the softer the wool.Fine fibers bend more when they touch the skin, so the sensation is softer, the finer the fiber is. This section is about the fine wool of the Merino sheep. The fineness depends mainly on the origin of the sheep. The extra fine fibers are supplied by the Merino sheep from Australia, New Zealand and Africa.

In addition to the wide range of degrees of fineness, the wool has impressive advantages.

• Moisture control – the fibers can absorb up to 35% of their own weight in moisture and dissipate it to the outside.
• The fibers contain up to 85% air, which has an insulating effect and makes it breathable – the wool warms in winter and cools in summer.
• External influences, such as odors during cooking or heavy sweating can be eliminated by a brief airing.
• Bonus: Even firefighters put on protective clothing made of merino, because it is hardly inflammable.

The wool of the cashmere goat is especially soft and warm, and very light at the same time.

• luxurious, fine and airy
• protective, warming and feather-light

The high-quality wool is obtained exclusively from the peritoneum of the cashmere goat. The inferior awn hair from the back is sorted out beforehand.

Particularly outstanding are the extremely warm and light-wear properties of this wool. Due to the fine fibers of the yarn, the wool feels particularly soft, and even very sensitive people can wear the wool well on bare skin. The wool is also durable, because the peculiarity of the yarn stands for form and color resistance.

Anyone who loves luxury will love cashmere.

The fluffy relatives of the lamas live mainly in the Andes in South America, Peru. The animals are known for their warm and very soft alpaca wool. In South America it’s known as the “fleece of gods”.

The nice skin sensation of alpaca wool is due to the very fine fibers. Here again, the finer the fiber, the higher the quality. Thanks to these soft, silky fibers, the wool has very high quality and a it is a very appreciated material. In various forms it has very special characteristics that are more than just warming. When it is brushed, it visually resembles mohair and it has a higher softness than smooth spun.

Alpaca wool has a special fiber structure:

• Due to the special fiber structure, the wool stores the body heat and at the same time isolates it from the cold.
• At warm temperatures, the fibers provide heat balance, sweat and moisture in general, are absorbed by the fibers and dissipated.
• The contained protein molecules neutralize perspiration and odors. This makes the wool very easy to care for and retains its natural shine and original shape for a long time.

Thanks to the origin of the wool from the Andes, it is particularly resistant:

• It is durable and dirt-repellent.
• The fibers absorb only little moisture, and, as a natural fiber, surprisingly little felt-susceptibility

Every two years, the animals are shorn and since there are only about four million alpacas worldwide, it is a very precious material.

Angora is considered as a special wool fiber. It is cuddly soft and warm. Due to its moisture-absorbing and heat-retaining properties, it is very popular.

What most consumers unfortunately do not know: The wool comes from large-scale productions, 90% comes from China (Source: www.wikipedia.org). The agile and sociable Angora rabbits sit in tight individual cages. By evolution they are used to eat each other’s precious fur, but they are isolated to supply their hair. In order to gain the wool, their hair is ripped out from alive bodies in torment.

For this reason, this wool is not available here and will not be processed by us. There are very nice alternatives such as fine merino, cashmere or blended fabrics with silk or Tencel (made of eucalyptus).
