Karakul – Grey (Top)
Classification: DUAL-COATED Combed top with little to no veg.

We suspect this is among the softest Karakul fibre around, making it useful for outerwear and scarves as well as the typical carpets and household items.

According to a couple of our customers, this has average wet-felting properties. One reports that it did not work well for Nuno felting. PRODUCT of UNITED KINGDOM
