Sable fur

Sable fur

　　The sable is a wild animal of the weasel family, with strong reproductive capabilities, giving birth to 4–6 offspring per litter. It is relatively small in size, with a long body and short limbs, and a slightly short tail. Its fur is light yellow in color, resembling the shape of small yellow fox fur. The prepared fur comes in a tubular form (fur inside, leather outside) and is quite oily, with a high oil content in the leather. Those from mountainous areas are smaller, with less oil content and whiter leather, where a light yellow color is considered premium. Those from grassland and hilly regions have slightly coarser and denser underfur, a somewhat darker color, slightly larger size, and the leather is of a sturdier quality. Quality specifications: Sable fur features fine and even underfur, bright coloration, dense undercoat, and thin yet tough leather. It is suitable for making fur coats, capes, fur hats for women and children, as well as trimmings for spring and autumn clothing. Its exquisite craftsmanship and novel designs have earned it popularity in the international market.
