What is
cashmere?
Cashmere is the down of the Capra Hircus goat, which is found at
elevations of 14,000 feet and above, where temperatures rarely rise above minus
30 degrees centigrade in winter.
Cashmere is the goat's soft underbelly down, which lies under the coarse
outer hair. Each goat produces only about 3 ounces or 90 grams of cashmere each
year.
The Capra Hircus goat is found in the high plateau regions of
Kashmir, Nepal and the central plains of Inner Mongolia.
What are the different grades of
cashmere?
Cashmere is available in several grades, including "Grade-A", "Grade-B" and so on. We offer only the highest quality
cashmere products made with "Grade-A" cashmere. The best grade of cashmere is 14-15.5 microns
in diameter and all the pashmina and cashmere products that we offer are made with this very fine grade of cashmere.
How many Ply's are your cashmere products?
Ply's are strands of yarn twisted together
to make one piece of yarn. Two-ply is thicker than one-ply, and so on. Our
products are offered in the following ply's:
