FRANCE: Colourful Camel Scores With Couture Customers

"These days camel hair based fabrics don't have to be restricted in colour to natural camel shades," says leading French spinner Audresset, pointing to the success of its recently launched Tibet Duvet yarn which comes in an 80/20 mix of baby camel hair and polyamide. This fancy, looped yarn can be supplied not just in conventional camel shades but also dyed to a range of seasonally fashionable plains. Additionally it comes in a printed version, which includes two-colour combinations like fuchsia pink/violet or green/canary yellow.
