Fur

　　Qinghai has an extremely rich resource of wild animal fur. High-grade fur materials include stone marten (also known as snow weasel) fur and fox fur. Medium-grade fur materials include marmot fur, sand fox fur, sea gull (also known as marino) fur, kangaroo rat (also known as blue-rooted marten) fur, wolf fur, steppe polecat fur, and muskrat fur. The fur mainly used for making fur products comes from sheep and lamb. Among them, black velvet lamb fur is the most precious. It features tightly curled, glossy black wool, a thin and soft leather, excellent warmth retention, and long-lasting durability, making it very popular in both domestic and international markets.
