Have you ever worked with camel yarn? What did you think of it?

[@peggycrochetz2400]

I have never worked with or heard of camel yarn! This video is so very interesting! Thanks so much! :)

[@Jenz607]

Never have worked with camel yarn.. Is it expensive, I haven't seen it in stores

[@peggycrochetz2400]

@@Jenz607 I've not seen it in stores either. Have a good evening 😊

[@celticwarrior777]

No.i try use manmade or cotton. If its collected after it falls off fair enough but if its hurt to have it pulled cut off def no

[@shirleyrogers3145]

​@@Jenz607 If you shop online, you can get very fine quality yarns, including camel yarn, from Purl Soho. No, I don't work there, but it's my new favorite yarn shop for natural fiber yarns.

[@Jenz607]

Wow so interesting. Love that the hair is soft & warm, but not heavy.

[@sistalborik]

FYI: "Camel hair must be collected by either shearing, combing or collecting the hair. All of these processes are totally safe and do not harm the Camel in any way. Camels take about 6-8 weeks to molt fully, so to speed up the process shearing is used frequently."

[@celticwarrior777]

Well as long as its not pulked off their bodys then ya

[@Orbitinbloom19018]

I have a camel hair sweater, its super comfortable

[@nancyduggan288]

I'd never seen nor heard of camel yarn before your very informative video! Now that I know it exists, I'll keep my eyes open for it - would love to try it. Thanks so much for the video.

[@cindylillard2938]

Thank you I love this this info on different yarns, Now I want to try them all...

[@Sigridovski]

I constantly buy a 30% camel, 70% wool yarn to make beanies. It does not itch and the beanie is warmer than the wool one and it is light and fluffy. It is the best for warm beanies that I have been able to discover. I make a 70's style beanie with 4 triangles on the top that I just sew together, 112 stitches (4*28) with 40 cm round pin, 3,5 mm or thicker, made long enough that it gets a little top and can be folded over the ears. It is warm but not sweaty in this wool.

[@barbaraleon6364]

You have educated me! Never knew it existed. Eager to try it now. Thank you for a great informative video.

[@bethtisdalestaton7250]

No I have not ever used Camel Yarn 🐪. In fact I've never heard of Camel Yarn. This is so interesting to me. Thank You for this very informative message!

[@janiscasey8500]

I haven’t worked with camel before, I would give it a try. Thank you for all your information. I learned something new today.🙃👍

[@Debbie2004]

Very interesting I did not know that you could buy yarn made from camel here. Now I will have to be on the lookout for it and if I see some I will definitely try it. Thank you for the information

[@jeannede104]

Please continue to do this

[@charlottemarti8639]

Very interesting. Thank you for this information. I have never worked with it. Thanks again. I will have to try some.😊

[@shirleyrogers3145]

I purchased 100% baby camel yarn from Purl Soho. Its fingering weight. Very soft and springy. However, I'm having a tough time crocheting with it. I'm used to fine crochet thread and tatting thread; also sport weight yarns. But this camel is really a challenge. I'd sure appreciate advice or tips from experienced camel crocheters. Thank you so much.😊

[@joannehudes.1759]

I have heard of Camel yarn but never tried it. Would love to try some.

[@christinewalsh9444]

Cool tutorial

[@bettybanks5367]

Very interesting! I've never used camel yarn.

[@paulabrown1089]

I found this video to be very informative ..I have never used it as a fiber,but thinks I will at least make a scarf from camel hair .. ty great video .

[@cherylclark8019]

Very interesting. Now I have to find me some of this yarn to work with. Hooked again! 😊😉😊

[@GG-ne9bb]

I recently purchased some 65% camel/acrylic yarn. I feel good handling it but, it doesn't seem that soft. I hand washed a swatch and it did soften but not like it seems to be described.

[@angrypanda5042]

Thanks for a really informative video. I've been aware of the fiber but not yet used it.

[@kimwheeler8414]

I love lion brand yarns, although I've never heard of 🐫 yarns I'm sure it's very nice, I'll have to keep an eye out and try some! This was a very informative video, I enjoyed it.

[@sansman888funnyboshrush]

I came over from bag-o-day crochet I know I would love to try that camel wool

[@kellydrummer3285]

wow, never knew this yarn existed! where can this yarn be found? you really educated us today, thanks!

[@MrTheknittinglady]

I will have to be on the lookout. I presume it’s from Lion Brand .

[@ginnylynn1]

I’d love try Camel 🙋‍♀️🧶

[@kathykathleenk5710]

Thank you for your awesome video. I'm making a hyperbolic out of camel yarn as I watch this & I was wondering how it is produced. I typically don't use yarn from animals because they are often more expensive but I got it for a great price. I really like the feel of it. It is very thin. I saw a video on how to easily triple the strand to make it like worsted weight whilst using it so I'm very glad I purchased it. 0010110. 433

[@moonlitsky9321]

I bought a hand-made (hand-spun) camel yarn today from an individual seller from a dog friendly house. Once I opened the package, I couldn’t stand how instantly allergic I became. So I gently squeeze-washed it with woolite, put it in a fabric softner, and then (no heat) air dried it…….. it’s still slightly wet, but….. it clumped!!! (I just untangled the braid but left it unwind) I am pulling it apart by strands but I was thinking, is this normal? And is it ok to rip apart like this? I also washed the other merino wool yarn but that one came out fine without any clumping.

[@noeliaortiz2974]

Very interesting. Will consider buying some camel yarn in the future.

[@AHRRAJAR]

❤❤

[@carolbaesler3963]

No too much money for me but it looks nice 👍

[@carolynrusso-azer8800]

Wow, I didn’t even know camel yarn existed.

[@TravisTellsTruths]

No, no, the camel fat turns into food AND water for them.
