Cashmere

The Cashmere Goat is the source of the wool that becomes the highly prized Cashmere fibre for clothing and other textiles. Cashmere is characterised as almost indulgently soft, with high napability and loft, or ‘fluffiness’. It provides natural and luxurious light-weight insulation, without bulk, and is extremely warm, protecting goats from freezing mountain temperatures. Fibres are highly adaptable and easily constructed into fine or thick yarns, within a wide range of light to heavy-weight fabrics. Appropriate for all climates, a high moisture content allows insulation properties to change relative to the humidity in the air. This makes cashmere the perfect knitwear for year-round wear.
