Features
Karakulcha is the fur of unborn lambs (eared or miscarriage), which is distinguished by its special silkiness, unique ribbed curl pattern, soft mezra.
This fur is distinguished by a short pile and underdeveloped curls, which together create an unusual fur pattern in the form of long ribbed stripes, the so-called “moire” with smooth transitions and tints of color.
