Exotic & Specialty Fiber Sample Pack

Exotic & Specialty Fiber sample pack takes you beyond traditional sheep's wool and into the diverse world of non-sheep textiles. These four fibers represent the extremes of the fiber world: from the plant-based silkiness of Bamboo to the ultra-luxury "halo" of Rabbit. These fibers are almost never used on their own for yarn or crafts but instead blended with sheep's wool to create structure.

• Unlike the other animal-based fibers in this pack, Bamboo is a cellulose fiber, cool to the touch, incredibly smooth, and heavy in "drape."

• Mohair comes from the Angora Goat (not to be confused with the rabbit!) It has long, strong fibers. It is famous for its "halo": a fuzzy, blurred effect that traps heat without adding weight.

• Alpaca is the "soft gold" of the Andes. It is buttery soft and significantly warmer than sheep’s wool.

• Angora Rabbit is the softest fiber in the pack and likely the softest thing you will ever touch. It weighs nearly nothing and is seven times warmer than sheep's wool.
