Oh, for feel-o-vision. This yarn doesn't look particularly exciting, but it's a combination of baby camel down and mulberry silk, and so soft and silky. This is over 220 yds/200 meters, two ply. I have a pound/453 gm of this fluff and still have a bobbin's worth to reel and about 7 oz/200 gm left to spin.

(I know you are joking but...) It is very soft and warm. Did you know camels carry anthrax? Although the bigger danger these days is MERS-CoV. There is also a disease called camelpox.
@Arachne I had no clue about any of this! I was not expecting to learn about camels on Mastodon. 😁

There's such a thing as camel down?
So, asking "how do you get down from a camel" doesn't necessarily result in the "Don't be silly; you get down from a duck" response?
