Woolen products are made from the wool of various animals. Each species has its own characteristics. A detailed examination of two popular types of wool - yak and camel - it becomes clear which products are warmer and softer.
Yak Wool
Yak wool has high spinning properties. Yarn from the wool of this animal is widespread, despite the fact that it is found less and less. This is due to the fact that the wild yak is listed in the Red Book. However, the beneficial properties of wool cover this disadvantage. She is very light and soft. Woolen yarn of this type is very similar in structure to human hair, so when you touch the skin you feel comfortable, things do not cause irritation, tingling sensations, or the desire to scratch the skin. The general properties of wool can be described as resistance to change of shape, ability to retain heat and stretch well.
There is one amazing ability of yak wool - hygroscopicity, that is, the ability to absorb moisture from the air. Products made of such a material do not cause allergies, which is especially important for people exposed to this phenomenon. Moreover, wearing these things gives a healing effect: relieves headaches, improves blood circulation and reduces joint pain. It turns out that these things are better for those who are often sick. It is good to wear products with osteochondrosis and rheumatism. Therefore, it is worth having at least one thing made on the basis of yak wool, especially when you consider that it is very popular.
