Myths about camel wool and products made of it

Since only states the pillows made of wool such an animal like a camel, then a sufficient number of people have negative associations. First of all it is connected with the myths and fantasies that exist about this type of wool.

Here are the main ones:

1. The smell of natural wool. Many believe that the camel wool enough "fragrant". In fact, this is not a reliable fact. Indeed, in itself capable of wool highlight weak sweet, sticky smell. But it appears most often when the hair slightly wet and exposed to heat. However, responsible manufacturers do not allow the display of the properties of wool to the finished product. They treated her with special compounds, harmless to human health, but the ability to neutralize the odor. The result - in the operation of a camel cushion the consumer does not feel any smell, even though it will be slightly damp in a warm room.

   Pillow is not as heavy as it might seem at first glance.

2. Thermal conductivity and hygroscopic product. Many believe that this pillow is due to the fact that a well-warmed, can cause an active process of sweating in humans. As a result, it becomes wet and uncomfortable tactile. Actually this is not true. Moisture that falls on the pile structure, completely absorbed in the hairs, while the surface of the product remains dry and comfortable for humans.

   Camel wool is able to quickly absorb and evaporate instantly up to 35% of moisture.

3. Prickliness wool. Many people believe that the camel wool enough barbed. Despite the fact that this is true, at present high-quality products from branded manufacturers are processed in such a way that the barb fibers minimally reduced. In addition, the responsible approach is still in the fact that the pillow-case made of a dense material, which does not allow penetration of the villi on the outer surface of the product.

   Material perfectly breathable, allowing the product to "breathe".

Compare sheep or camel wool

As the camel and sheep wool are natural fibers of animal origin.

But wool is coarser, it happens due to the specificity of the hair structure. Thus, the fleece may be more irritating to influence people who are prone to tingling sensations from contact with such material. But this fiber products have a larger volume at the expense of the same, more rough structure.

Camel hair, in contrast has a softer hair. So the pillow will be less luxuriant, but rather to have a greater tendency to collapse. But as for the thermal conductivity, the camel hair clearly superior to sheep. Also more effective "breathing" in the product, which serves as a filler for a camel coat.

Fleece against down and feather

Speaking of the pillows to sleep more often imagine filling of feathers and down, combined in different proportions. But if we compare the two types of products, we can say with certainty that the down-feather filling holds its shape better. Whereas camel hair due to its subtlety and tenderness hairs sufficiently flattened intensively. And it may not seem comfortable for people suffering from deformities and pain in the neck, as well as migraines.

How to properly care for a pillow made of wool camel

It is important to cushion made of regular dry filler camel wool in full sun to access a constant air flow.

• Hand wash only mode;

• used exclusively biologically friendly powders which well decompose in water - This makes it possible to get thoroughly rinse the product and to avoid that the powder remains inside.

The powder itself better to choose as a liquid or gel, since in this case it will not be able to act aggressively on the dot wool.

In principle, the product can be washed by dividing it into parts. That is, removing the wool and clean separately. While napernik cleaned separately.
