Rabbit is perhaps the least durable leather in terms of tensile and abrasion strength. In what items are you planning to use fur and leather? What is the temperature range you're going to experience. Does it matter if the clothing items are light or heavy, more or less durable? You don't want...

Thermal resistance in mainly dependent of the density and thickness of the material. Some furs are less dense than others and as such have larger thermal resistance per a unit of weight.

Unless you're planning to make a reindeer fur parka, you want rawhides that don't shed so easily.

The cost to raise a reindeer and skin the hide from the carcass is around 30 € in Finland. You might get a rawhide from a local reindeer herding cooperative for 50 € a piece and without shipping. Three rawhides shipped to the U.K. could then easily cost £150.

That's a sweeping statement. Many of the Saami people were never reindeer herders, but fishermen, hunters or even farmers with sheep and cows.

There are plenty of contemporary sources confirming that Saami have used axes for ages. It is common fallacy that Saami were poor, but in fact they had enough money to buy metres of fabric to cover their goahti / lávvu at least since the 1500s. They also had plenty of ironware.

Still available.

Today is the final day to participate to the group buy.

Wool from any sheep has the same fibre density, 1.32 g/cm3. On the other hand, angora wool fibre is approximately 10 % less dense and thus lighter than identical sweater made out of sheep wool. However, angora wool has even less tensile strength than merino fibres.

If the two sweaters have the same thickness or loft, they also have the same insulation value. However, merino wool is less durable than courser wools due to a number of reasons. It is probably more important to compare how the different sweaters are knit as some knits give more thickness per...
