Traditional Handmade Camel Wool Hat

Camel Wool

In the past, all the countries of the East and the Middle East depended almost entirely on the camel and its endurance. The territory of these countries was separated from the outside world by miles of desert. Hence, camels replaced horses, sheep, and cattle in these countries. Therefore, the use of wool and other camel products was common in these countries. The use of camel wool is very old and is even mentioned in the Bible as a material used to make tents, cloaks and mats. From about the seventeenth century AD, the use of these fibers has become popular in the West. Suddenly, these fibers became very popular in England in the late nineteenth century.
