The Wonders of Cashmere!

Cashmere is comes from the neck of a cashmere goat. The highest quality cashmere has to be hand combed from the goat and cannot be cut or sheared, that is why cashmere is so expensive. Cashmere is collected during the spring molting season when the goats naturally shed their winter coat. The production of cashmere does not hurt the goats in anyway. Cashmere is one of the softest fabrics and can last for years when it is high quality. The hair from the goats neck is the highest quality cashmere and can be very expensive. Cheaper cashmere comes from the goats legs and back. The cheaper cashmere is more apt to pil and is not as warm. In the long run it worth paying the extra price for better cashmere, it will last for years, even decades. Another fantastic aspect of cashmere is that is can be hand washed in cold water.
