About Cashmere Wool
Cashmere is characterized by its luxuriously soft fibers. In order for a natural goat fiber to be considered Cashmere, it must be under 18.5 micrometers in diameter and be at least 3.175 centimeters long. It is noted as providing a natural light-weight insulation without bulk. Fibres are highly adaptable and are easily constructed into fine or thick yarns, and light to heavyweight fabrics. Appropriate for all climates, a high moisture content allows insulation properties to change with the relative humidity in the air. It is a misconception that the finest fibers are harvested from the neck and belly of the goat as these are generally the dirtiest part of the animal and most subject to collecting debris. The finest fibers are gathered from the saddle of the Cashmere goat; most of the cashmere comes off of the sides and back of the goat's body from the shoulder to the rump. If the goat is shorn, the fiber must be "de-haired" to remove the coarse, unusable guard hair. Sometimes combing the goat collects the fine fibres; either method is time consuming and tedious, thus the high cost of cashmere

The Cashmere (Kashmir) or goat down is the source of the wool that becomes cashmere fiber for clothing and other textile articles. The goat (Capra hircus Laniger) is a mammal belonging to the subfamily Caprinae of the family Bovidae. The goats produce a double fleece consisting of the fine, soft undercoat or under down of hair mingled with a straighter and much coarser outer coating of hair called guard hair. In order for the fine under down to be sold and processed further, it must first be de-haired. De-haring is a mechanical process that separates the coarse hairs from the fine hair and after de-haring the resulting "cashmere" is ready to be dyed and converted into yarn, fabrics and garments.
