“Golden wool” is the rarest, finest and most expensive natural textile material in the world, sold by the weight, at exorbitant prices.
Vicuña thread is the most expensive natural textile in the world, given that it is harvested once every two years, in limited quantities.
This wool is traded by the weight, just like gold, given that it is the finest and rarest yarn to be found today.
The vicuña lives at high altitudes in the Andes Mountains and is a protected animal.
The fur of this animal, consisting of hairs, albeit very fine, which protects against the terrible cold, harvested once every two or three years, in very small quantities, its processing being a difficult process.
In the past, Vicuña yarn was called the “wool of the gods”, to which only families with royal blood had access.
“A Vicuña sweater can be found on the market at prices starting from 3,000 euros to tens of thousands of euros. The amount of yarn is extremely limited, worldwide. (…)
It is also difficult to find from another point of view: the big knitwear manufacturers try to buy all the existing production, so it is difficult to buy this yarn”, explained Amalia Şerban, founder of the knitting company, notes adevarul.ro.
In the world of luxury and exclusivity, clothes made from this type of wool are highly sought after by those who want to invest in precious and authentic clothing items.
