Cashmere is the fine hair from the undercoat of cashmere goats. Most cashmere comes from the goats of Mongolia and China as the harsh climate, where winters can be -40 degrees, forced the cashmere goats to adapt to the climate by developing a double fleece. There is an outer guard layer that protects the undercoat from water, and an undercoat made of ultra-fine hairs with strong insulating properties. This undercoat is what produces cashmere.

Not all cashmere goats are created equal. Inner Mongolia is generally seen as the best origin for cashmere, due to the harsher winters which produce the longest, thinnest and softest hair.

For more detail go to our Ultimate Cashmere Guide blog section.

Cashmere fibers that are classified as grade A, B, C. Cashmere fiber with around 30 microns diameter is a grade C cashmere. fiber with around 19 microns is grade B, the thinnest and longest cashmere fiber which means that they come with the best quality. Their diameter is very small and it can go as low as 14 microns diameter is Grade A.

So, the first difference is the goats that produce this wool. In the case of pashm wool, only Tibetan goats found during the winter period at altitudes above 4000 meters can produce this wool. On the other hand, just like pashm wool, cashmere wool is produced from the undercoat of goats, but this time the manufacturers use different subspecies of goats that live in a wider area.

Next, when we compare these two types of wool, we will notice that cashmere is a little bit coarser and thicker compared to pashm wool.

Experienced people can notice the softer touch of pashm wool.

In addition, treating pashm wool is much more difficult because it is difficult to spin it since it is extremely thin.

Obviously, cashmere wool is simpler to spin.

Furthermore, even though the diameter is not clearly visible, studies have shown that pashm wool has a diameter between 10 and 16 microns while cashmere has a diameter between 16 and 19 microns.

Finally, due to the fact that pashm wool is obtained during a specific period of the year and from specific goats, and the fact that they produce between 80 and 170 grams every year, this wool is difficult to find.

It is much simpler to find cashmere wool. There are more than 400 million cashmere goats in the world.

Regardless of the wool, you select and the product you will use, it is very important to keep the cashmere/pashmina product safe and protect and to maintain it in the right way.

For instance, you should never place the products in a washing machine.

Pashmina is the most refined version of cashmere products.

However, both versions have exceptional qualities and they are considered to be one of the most luxurious fabrics in the world today.

The quality of cashmere can differ with fineness, length, and color being the key factors.

The most important factor in the quality of cashmere is the length and fineness of the fibers. items made with long fine fibers pill less and maintain their shape better than items made with shorter hair.

Color also impacts the quality of cashmere naturally, white hair is more desirable because it doesn’t require as much processing to dye different colors.

So that we always offer the finest quality Italian | Mongolian cashmere to all our customers, because we completely understand only the finest yarns can make the finest product possible.

The Touch Test

Cashmere should feel soft and not scratchy against your skin.  The better quality cashmere is soft, but not overly soft to touch – it softens over time.  Some companies increase the softness by treating the cashmere with chemical additives and softeners or by over washing it.  This reduces the life of the cashmere garment, so beware of cashmere that feels unbelievably soft.

The Stretch Test

Gently stretch out a piece of the cashmere and see if it springs back into shape.  Good quality cashmere will, lower-quality cashmere will remain out of shape.  Also, stretch it and look through it.  The tighter the knit of the cashmere the better quality it is and the better it will retain its shape and be less susceptible to holes.

The Pilling Test

Rub your hand over the cashmere item.  If little balls start forming it is a sign that the cashmere used contains an excess amount of shorter hairs which means lower quality.  All cashmere will pill when rubbed over time, but if it pills immediately it’s a sign of low-quality cashmere.

100% Cashmere

100% cashmere is luxurious.  It feels soft and offers great insulation keeping you warm in winter and cool in spring.  Cashmere becomes softer with age and rarely pills after being worn and washed.  It travels well and doesn’t wrinkle. Cashmere should last a lifetime.

A blend will combine cashmere with wool, silk or synthetic fibers.  These cheaper fibers lower the price.  Also, blends are often made with lower quality cashmere that is made of thicker and shorter cashmere hairs.  Buying a blend means you’re compromising price for the very things that make cashmere so sought after – it’s soft, light-weight and insulating properties.

Cashmere is 8 x warmer than sheep’s wool, yet significantly lighter, which means to reap the full reward of cashmere you should invest in only 100% cashmere items.

Simply, it is the number of needles in per inch on the knitting machine’s flatbed. it’s an effect if the higher gauge is, the smaller needles will be used and thinner knit structure of the final garment will be produced.

Yarn count describes the thickness of the yarn. There are different ways in which this can be calculated and, for our cashmere, we follow the woolen system – NM. The count of the yarn is measuring by the distance of a per inch twist of the yarn spinning process. Obviously, the higher the number of twists, the finer the yarn.

Basically 2/26 NM count is the best for quality manners, because of if the products for SUMMER / SPRING then 1ply of 2/26 NM count yarn will be use but the products for FALL/WINTER then yarn ply will be add as per customers demand such as Chunky Knit structure there will used 12ply of 2/26 NM count yarn.

Yes, we have quality certified yarn supplier by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, GOTS, Organic 100, and Nepal Bureau of Standards & Metrology (NBSM) Government of Nepal Ministry of Industry, Commerce & Supplies.

Ply is the number of cashmere threads twisted together to make the cashmere yarn.

Two twisted threads are referred to as 2-ply, and three twisted threads are referred to as 3-ply, etc. Since cashmere is a fine hair, it benefits from the increased strength in the twisted thread.

Look for items that are 2-ply or higher, as 1-ply cashmere is less durable and is more likely to develop holes. Higher plies such as 4-ply add additional weight and warmth but do not indicate the additional quality.
