Cashmere No other fabric can be simultaneously so soft, gentle, light and warm as cashmere – it is a unique, natural fiber. There is a mistaken opinion when people think that cashmere is an expensive or good-dressed wool. But cashmere is a fluff (undercoat) of mountain goats, which is pulled out or manually brushed in spring, when after a winter cold the fluff is not needed for goats any more. Major suppliers of cashmere are Mongolia and China (Province of China, called Inner Mongolia). There are also cashmere from India in the market (the main region of producing is Kashmir state), Iran and Afghanistan. But such a fluff is more dirty, the hair is thicker and more dark, so the value of the fluff gets noticeably below. Breeders tried to grow cashmere goats in other places, removed them to Australia, New Zealand and Scotland. But in other climatic conditions (lack of sharply continental climate - cold winter and hot summer) undercoat lost its precious quality: lightness and remarkable ability to keep warm. Europe learned of cashmere in the 18 st century, thanks to Josephine. After one of the eastern military campaign Napoleon brought her a woollen shawl , that was thin, almost transparent, decorated with embroidery, with a surprising name “Pashmina”. After 200 years Pashmina remains a classic accessory and an essential addition to fashionable clothes. Some interesting information: In order to get the fluff goats shouldn’t be trimmed, they have to be combed out with a special device which plucks the fluff. And it is possible to get only 100 grams of fluff of one goat per year, perhaps maximum of 200 grams. It requires a fluff of 4-6 animals to knit one cashmere sweater. A lengthy cardigan in 10 yarns requires a fluff of 20 animals. These are some facts that define the very high price on the production of real cashmere. How can we define the difference between wool and cashmere? Our fingers can help us in this, determining the difference of one micron. For example, a human hair amounts about 50 microns and a high-quality cashmere stuff consists of filaments of 16 microns. That is why a touch of cashmere seems us so wonderful. The popularity of cashmere in the world is ever rising. This is because the living standards and common weal in Europe, the USA and Japan has increased markedly. And people prefer to buy the best that exists in the textile market - cashmere knitwear. Even if it is exorbitantly costly, but its non-allergenicity and extraordinary softness and comfort make cashmere more and more popular worldwide every day. All the major fashion houses complement their collections with cashmere models, but basically this is garments of cashmere which is mixed with other materials (30-50% cashmere).
