 The Source: The Cashmere Goat

• Breed: Cashmere is the extracted product of the cashmere goat, a native breed raised primarily in the cold mountain regions of the Himalayas as well as parts of Mongolia, Nepal, China, and India.
• Winter Coat Fibres: Two types of fibre make up the goat's thick winter coat
• Guard Hair: The outer layer is the coarse, longer guard hairs, which play a protective role against the harsh conditions of the environment.
• Cashmere (Undercoat): Below the guard hair is the soft, fine undercoat that gives cashmere fibre.
•  Fibre Harvest: The cashmere goat sheds just its soft, fine undercoat in the spring shedding season. It is these fine fibres that make cashmere so soft and plush.

• Why It's Special: The undercoat of the cashmere goat is very soft, light and insulating but warmer without bulk-one of the world's most sought after natural fibres.

Fibre Collection

• Combining: Annual natural spring cycle during which goats shed their winter coat cashmere is produced. Such is called "combing" or "dehairing" and may either be hand-combed or mechanically combbed. 

• Separation of Fibres: The soft undercoat is separated from the coarser guard hairs. The undercoat is finer and softer, as a result of which it has been the prized fibre for cashmere production.

• Low-yielding stock: On average, goats yield only 3-6 ounces (85-170 grams) of raw cashmere per year. The low yield from individual goats, coupled with the labour-intensive process of collecting it, creates rare and highly sought-after fibres like cashmere.

Cleaning and Treatment of the Fibre

• Cleaning: The cashmere is cleaned up after collection. Cleaning normally removes impurities such as dirt, oils, and vegetable matters from the fibre and makes it clean and ready for spinning.

• Spinning and Dyeing: The clean fibres are spun into yarn, which can be dyed into colour. Dyed shades will vary, depending upon the final product to be made. The same yarn then goes on to be woven into fabric, such as when making sweaters, scarves and coats, high-end sorts.

Why Cashmere is So Special

• Softness: cashmere has been famous for extra softness. Fine fibres are much thinner and smoother than wool, thus giving a silky feel to human skin.

• Warmth with No Bulk: cashmere is immensely warm, yet continues to be light and breathable, making it provide exceptional warmth without the heaviness and bulk of traditional wool for comfortable, yet stylish cold-weather wear.

• Durability Versatility: Cashmere is, however extremely fragile, can last many years with gentle care, and over time soften even more to create it feel much more luxurious than when fresh. Versatility also enables cashmere use in such a variety of garments - from the finest sweaters to outer wear - thus it is a good buy in both style and comfort.
