It is easily dyed in any color (without using any harsh chemicals) and always retains its natural luster. It is supple and smooth to the touch, softer than cashmere, and warmer and stronger than lamb’s wool. It contains microscopic air pockets which create lightweight clothing with excellent insulating properties.
