Cashmere.org defines Cashmere as “The fine (dehaired) undercoat fibers produced by a Cashmere goat (Capra hircus laniger). The fiber is generally non-medullated and has a mean maximum diameter of 19 microns. The co-efficient of variation around the mean shall not exceed 24%. There can be no more than 3% (by weight) of cashmere fibers over 30 microns.” True 100 percent cashmere is super soft (I’m sure most of you already know this) and very expensive. Check out some cashmere below and be sure to watch the “stained cashmere” episode of Seinfeld also below.
