Origin of the material
Where the warmth of the Orenburg shawl comes from
Unique goat down gives the shawls warmth and lightness. Its fibre is only 14–16 microns thick and very difficult to process. One goat usually yields only 200–350 g of down a year.
The main practical quality of Orenburg shawls is their remarkable warmth combined with lightness. The reason is the unique down combed from local goats. Its fibre is only 14–16 microns thick and very difficult to process; one goat usually yields only 200–350 g a year. It is this down, together with the talent and hard work of the craftswomen, that made the Orenburg shawl famous worldwide.
