Fabrics That Looks Luxury But Quite Affordable
#TeachingTuesdays
Luxury fibers add a buffer of luxury to more functional and affordable fabrics. Examples include cashmere (a yarn spun from the hair of the cashmere goat), Alpaca, silk and mohair (yarn obtained from the hair of the angora goat). The most luxurious fiber however comes from vicuña (a relative of the alpaca found in the Andes). The extremely soft and warm fibers can only be removed from the animal every few years, so the resultant yarn, as you may know, is quite expensive and softer than fabric made with sheep’s wool.
