Famously luxurious due its strength, soft feel, beautiful drape and heat retaining qualities.
Cashmere comes from a goat native to Central Asia and Gobi desert. Considered the softest animal fibre it is farmed in the mountains. The underhair then, is light and fluffy to trap air and keep the animal warm in the coldest of conditions.
Does not contain lanolin, like sheep's wool it is therefore seen as hypoallergenic.
Can come in different weights depending on your project and often blended with other fibres which can reduce the cost and make it easier to work with.
