When concerning a new type yarn raccoon yarn, it maybe not as well-known as cashmere but it’s also a kind of luxury textile material. So what is raccoon yarn? Before we learn about this kind of yarn, let’s talk about raccoon first.

The raccoon, also can be spelled racoon, is the largest of the procyonid family, having a body length of 40 to 70 cm and a body weight of 3.5 to 9 kg. Its grayish coat mostly consists of dense underfur which insulates it against cold weather. The fur of raccoons is used for clothing, especially for coats and coonskin caps. At present, it is the material used for the inaccurately named "sealskin" cap worn by the Royal Fusiliers of Great Britain. Historically, Native American tribes not only used the fur for winter clothing, but also used the tails for ornament.

The fiber of raccoon is soft, lightsome and comfortable. And raccoon yarn is also a naturally perfect textile yarn for knitting items like sweaters, coats, hats, etc. Raccoon products are favored by many ladies; it has fabulous touch and feeling to be wore and it’s also luxurious but more cost-efficient than cashmere.
