How to Identify High Quality Cashmere
Cashmere is a fabric produced by harvesting the undercoat of a specific type of goat found in
the mountains of Mongolia.
Each goat can produce approximately 50 grams worth of cashmere
wool while it takes around 150 to 450 grams of the material to create a sweater.
There are
farms which now raise and breed these goats specifically for their wool.
This helps increase
the supply and bring the prices down.
You can now find more affordable articles of clothing
made with cashmere.
Being able to distinguish between authentic cashmere from synthetic or
combination fabrics will help consumers determine whether they are getting a good deal or not.
Identifying clothing that is made from pure cashmere is difficult, especially for novices.
The
market is flooded with clothing that is often labeled as 100% cashmere.
Cheaper alternatives
are made by mixing the fiber with other types of threads or wool.
This includes synthetic wool,
camel hair and silk.
