What is Chinchilla Fabric?
- Chinchilla cloth is a kind of thick, spongy woolen overcoat fabric that has a long nap and has been rubbed into a curly, nubby finish.
- Wool or wool blends are used in its production, and cotton may be woven into the warp to increase the fabric's tensile strength.
History
- Chinchilla rodents were persecuted to the point of extinction for their fur during the last few years of the 19th century, which led to their eventual demise.
- Prior to that time, accessories and elegant outfits were often made from the skin and hair of animals.
- During this time period, chinchilla hair was used in fashion projects by a lot of designers and industry professionals.

Care Instructions
- It is recommended that you wash it by hand or in a dry cleaning machine rather than putting it through the rigors of the washing machine.
- You should make every effort to ensure that its exposure to the sun is kept to a minimum in order to prevent the formation of yellow spots in concentrated regions.
- When packing it, be sure to use bags with straps, since fur hair is prone to falling out.
- Make sure it doesn't become wet or soaked.
