Animal Welfare
The camel wool in this product comes from the Mongolian nomads who have been using and breeding camels for centuries. The hair is collected not by cutting it of, but gathered as the animal sheds its coat and when the animal is combed by hand. Both the outer coat and the undercoat are gathered at the same time and, later with the help of combing, the coarse outer hairs are separated from the finer ones.

The aim of MASKA is to create knitwear with a quality superior to what you find on the mass marked. Therefore there are made no compromises in any part of the production process.

The raw fiber is traceable down to growth area and the spinner work closely with suppliers to ensure animal welfare.

Use of Camel wool
This yarn is made from carefully sourced, very fine baby camel hair from Mongolia. Camel wool is gathered as the animal sheds its coat or combed by hand. The hair is thermo-regulated to stay warm in cold and cool in hot temperatures which makes the garment warm yet breathable. The final fabric is characterized by high drape, lightness and durability.
Camel is also a very light weight fiber. It consists of cashmere, inter-blended wool, and fleece. The coarse fiber is also waterproof, that is why nomads use it for coats and the outer layers of their yurts. Pure camel wool has high moisture managing properties and even becomes softer with use.
Non Toxic and biodegradable
This yarn is not coloured or treated with chemicals and is therefore also biodegradable. Besides the tags you can at one point a long long time from now, put it in a compost bin with other biodegradable matter, and it will turn into dirt.
Traceable Supply Chain
To get the symbol of traceable supply chain is one of the highest ranking credentials we’ve got. This implies a high degree of responsibility taken by the designer to know every step of the production chain, and also choosing suppliers who’ve shown a high degree of transparency and good intentions in their production setup. With this product from MASKA we can proudly add the symbol of Traceable Supply Chain.
