The
cashmere fiber is considered one of the most valuable for the
characteristics of fineness, softness and warmth. The fiber is obtained
combing, only in winter, the goats in Tibet to separate from the rough
and long hair fine and soft. The quantity of wool is very little
gained: 120 grams (for a sweater takes 6 goats), which is why the price
is very high.
Cashmere is a fiber that has the advantage of isolating the cold
but also by the heat, has excellent flame retardant properties and
provides good breathability.
The quality of Cashmere depends above all on the breed of the
animal and, secondly, on the side of the body which is drawn, the most
valuable is that of the back.
The Capra hircus (this is the name of the Cashmere goat) live in
mountainous regions and highlands of Asia. The most important supplier
countries are: China, Iran, Mongolia, Tibet, and Afghanistan. But the
Cashmere softer and more expensive because it is produced in small
quantities is that of the Indian province of Kashmir.
The climatic conditions of extreme changes in temperature
between day and night in these areas favor the development of hair
called duvet. This fluff has the peculiarity of exception, like all
animal fibers (but this more than anything else) to thermo-regulate the
animal's body in relation to the external environment, protecting both
the low or high temperatures.
Each article and color of pure cashmere yarn is processed
individually, with textile machinery for yarn knitting and weaving
specialists. The process is very long and particular, for this is done
by specialized spinning mills in the processing of precious fibers.
