Cashmere comes from the Kashmir Goats which live high up on the plains of Inner Mongolia. In order to withstand the Bitter Winter Cold when the mercury can plunge as low as 40 degrees celsius, these little white goats grow a Fine Inner Coat to keep them Warm. And, this hair is incredibly Fine, measuring around 14 microns.

Compare this to wool which measures between 20 and 40 microns. In the Summer, these Goats begin to shed this inner coat in order to keep Cool. And, that’s when they are Sheared.
