Cashmere is a very luxurious fiber. Although prices are often a bit high, if you are looking for luxury fashion, selecting cashmere is generally a good choice. In this section, you can learn more about fashion made with cashmere fabric.
Cashmere. The very word evokes images of luxury, warmth and softness. The ultra-fine wool, from the undercoat of the Cashmere (or Kashmir) goat, is indeed a premium fiber that generally commands a much higher price than sheep's wool.
Not all fibers from the Cashmere goat are considered cashmere under the Wool Act. Under the Act, the term “cashmere” can be used to identify fiber content only if:
- the fiber consists of the fine (dehaired) undercoat fibers produced by a Cashmere goat (capra hircus laniger);
- the average diameter of the cashmere fiber does not exceed 19 microns; and
- the cashmere fibers in the wool product contain no more than 3% (by weight) of cashmere fibers with average diameters that exceed 30 microns.
