Cashmere
Cashmere is the wool or fur of the Kashmir
goat. Kashmir goats are primarily raised in Mongolia, but
many are bred in Iran, Tibet, India and China. American
herders have also joined the international cashmere
production market in recent years. The fibres are highly
adaptable and are easily transformed into fine or thick
yarns, and light to heavyweight fabrics. The high moisture
content allows insulation properties to change with the
relative humidity in the air.
