Guide to Fiber Intensive: Karakul

There are two types of Karakuls, that need to be understood together. One is the Karakul from Central to Southwest Asia, and is one of the oldest sheep breeds. The other is the American Karakul, which has evolved through the addition of other breeds but retains many of the characteristics of the original. Their history covers a broad span of time and many uses, including the production of rugs, yurts, and so-called Persian lamb. If you want to branch out from fine, soft fibers, Karakul will open new creative realms.
