Cashmere is taken from the fine downy hair layer close to the skin surface of goats. During the cold winter, goats grow this soft and fine downy hair to withstand the severe cold. When the weather warms up in spring, goats shed their hair naturally, and people collect this downy hair through methods such as combing, thus obtaining raw cashmere.
Cashmere has a diameter of 14-16 microns, approximately 1/5 that of a human hair, with a soft touch and no itching when worn next to the skin. Its warmth retention is 1.5-2 times that of wool, and the air between fibers can effectively lock in heat. Meanwhile, cashmere is light and fluffy, with a low weight and no burden when worn; it has strong moisture absorption, can quickly dissipate sweat, and keep the skin dry. It also has a natural soft luster, exuding understated luxury.
The main component of cashmere is keratin, which is stable in weakly acidic and neutral environments but easily damaged by strong acids and alkalis. It has low heat resistance, so the washing temperature should not exceed 30°C, and low-temperature ironing is required. Additionally, cashmere is prone to moth damage, so pest prevention should be noted during storage.
Cashmere has a certain tensile strength, is not easily broken during normal wear, has good elasticity, and can quickly return to its original shape. However, it has relatively weak abrasion resistance, so excessive friction should be avoided in daily use.
Thanks to these characteristics, cashmere has become the top choice for our brand in making high-end clothing such as sweaters, scarves, shawls, and coats. Clothing made from it is warm, comfortable, and fashionable, making it an ideal choice for a quality lifestyle.
