Origin - Cashmere gets its name from Kashmir, a small region overlapping India, Pakistan and China. This is the home of cashmere goats. Cashmere can only be collected in spring, the season of molting. This small window frame makes the wool quite rare, and adds numbers to the price tag.
Insulating - Thin fabric with great insulation properties (approximately three times that of sheep's wool). The soft and dense material can keep users warm even when it is -40 °C, although it is only a few millimeters thick.
Hypoallergenic - Cashmere fiber is similar to that of sheep wool. However, it is characterized by a lack of lanolin, rendering it hypoallergenic. As some other sweater materials cause redness, itchiness or other reactions on sensitive skin, cashmere is typically comfortable for all skin types.
Hygroscopic - It absorbs moisture from the air and is inherently breathable. It absorbs and releases water vapor water as humidity fluctuates. You can wear it year round without getting too hot or too cold.
Longevity - Cashmere does not stretch or fade. If taken care of properly, it will retain its shape for a lifetime. Well-made cashmere will get even softer as it is worn and washed and it rarely pills. Goats’ fur, like human hair, gets fluffier and more luscious after a wash.
Care - To ensure the quality of cashmere is maintained, hand-washing or washing on your wool/silk cycle, with cold water, low spin, are the best methods to use when cleaning. Baby shampoo can be used to add an extra layer of softness and fluffiness to the texture.
