What is cashmere wool?
Cashmere is a natural speciality animal fibre, derived from the soft
undercoat of a range of Asiatic goat breeds. The wool of cashmere goats has been
processed into beautiful textiles since around 1000 BC in their homeland, the
Kashmir Valley in the Jammu-Kashmir state of northern India. Nowadays, cashmere
is primarily produced in China but other major cashmere-producing countries
include Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan ,Iran and Turkmenistan. There are also large
cashmere goat breeding farms in Australia, New Zealand and Scotland, where
mostly white wool species are bred; the wool then being later dyed with
colour.
How make goats the cashmere?!
Cashmere is the goat’s soft, downy undercoat, grown to its maximum length by mid-winter and shed in early Spring. Any goat can grow cashmere, but those we call “cashmere goats” have been selectively bred to produce it in significant amounts.
The quality of the cashmere fleece is determined by three factors: its length, its diameter, and the degree of crimping.

cashmere from each goat is about 150 grams, which is why it is considered to be
so rare and therefore so luxurious. Cashmere occurs naturally in only three
colours: white, gray and brown, but can be dyed any
colour.
