Copyright: Woodhead Publishing, Cambridge, UKAlthough luxury animal fibres, excluding silk, represent far less than 0.1% of global fibre production, they play a very significant role in the luxury, high value-added end of the market, notably the apparel market, being renowned for their special and mostly unique features, such as comfort and softness.
