Cashmere
Cashmere comes from the soft undercoat of cashmere goats. It is one of the finest natural fibers available — exceptionally soft, lightweight, and warm. Fiber diameter is typically 14–19 microns.
Where it comes from
Cashmere goats are raised across Central Asia, with Mongolia, China, Afghanistan, and Iran as the primary producing regions. Each goat produces only about 150–200 grams of cashmere fiber per year, which is why cashmere is more expensive than other wools.
Properties
Microplastics
Cashmere is a natural protein fiber. It does not shed synthetic microplastics and biodegrades at end of life.
