Uncooked wool
cashmere
The super-soft yarn is extracted from the undercoat of cashmere goats and combed out by hand - that's why it's so expensive.
alpaca
Alpacas are South American small camels. The yarn is five times warmer than sheep's wool.
mohair
Comes from the mohair goats. "Kid Mohair" is the extra fine hair of baby goats.
merino
The wool comes from Merino sheep mainly from Australia and South Africa. It is fine, elastic and soft. The yarn is good for baby clothes.
Angora
