Common End-uses of Camel Hair

The fine fur of the camel hair are often blended with fine wool to create fabrics for men's and women's coats, jackets and blazers, skirts, hosiery, sweaters, gloves, scarves, mufflers, and caps and robes. The long coarser hair removed in the dehairing process is also used which can be made into carpet backing as well as waterproof coats that are very warm for colder climates.

Famous quotes containing the words common, camel and/or hair:

    The common notions that we find in credit around us and infused into our souls by our fathers’ seed, these seem to be the universal and natural ones. Whence it comes to pass that what is off the hinges of custom, people believe to be off the hinges of reason.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Alas, alas for Hamelin!
    There came into many a burgher’s pate
    A text which says that Heaven’s Gate
    Opes to the rich at as easy rate
    As the needle’s eye takes a camel in!
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    Then, the cool kindliness of sheets, that soon
    Smooth away trouble; and the rough male kiss
    Of blankets; grainy wood; live hair that is
    Shining and free; blue-massing clouds; the keen
    Unpassioned beauty of a great machine;
    Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)
