Wear it once, wear it forever.
Cashmere is undoubtedly one of the highest quality natural fibres. Warm in winter, cooling in summer. The precious wool is obtained from the Cashmere goat, originally found in the high plains of the Himalayas at a height of 3,000–6,000 metres. A single Cashmere goat yields no more than 100–200 grams of fluffy undercoat per year. Once a year only – during the period of shedding – the animals are combed by hand. The finest and highest quality cashmere comes from the chest area of the goats and is a very scarce raw material.
The cashmere hair is twisted into a single-ply yarn in specialised spinning mills. The twisting of two single-ply yarns results in a two-ply yarn. If two-ply yarns are twisted together, the thickness increases. The yarn itself and its quality always remain the same. However, the twisting of the yarns increases the thickness and thus the weight of the yarn. The higher the ply number, the warmer and heavier the final product becomes. The high utilisation of material makes the end product more expensive. However, very fine cashmere products are not necessarily cheaper. Thin and complex yarns can easily tear during production and thus have longer production times.
