Cashmere is a thin layer of fine velvet that grows on the outer cortex of goats and covers the roots of the goat’s coarse hair. It grows when the winter is cold to resist wind and cold, and falls off when the weather warms up in spring. , naturally adapts to the climate and is a rare special animal fiber.
The reason why cashmere is very precious is not only because of its scarcity of output, but more importantly because of its excellent quality and characteristics. The price is determined by grams in transactions. It is unmatched by all textile raw materials currently available to humans, so it is also known as the “diamond of fibers” and “soft gold”.
Since the Kashmir region in Asia has historically been a distribution center for cashmere exports to Europe, it is customary to call cashmere “Kashmere Cashmere)” internationally. China adopts its homophonic name as “cashmere”.
Cashmere is the velvet combed from goats. Among them, the quality of velvet produced by cashmere goats is the best. Every spring is the time when goats shed their hair. The velvet captured from the goat’s body with a special iron comb is called raw velvet.
The washed raw velvet is combed to remove the coarse hair, dead hair and dander in the raw velvet, and the pseudo velvet obtained is called plush-free velvet.
Cashmere comes in three colors: white, green and purple, among which white cashmere is the most precious.
my country’s velvet quality standards are divided into 5 levels. They are graded according to roughness and impurity content and length indicators. White velvet and purple velvet are graded. Standards are also different.
Most cashmere fabrics are comfortable to wear, have strong warmth retention, plump suede, soft feel, soft luster and unique style, and are deeply favored by consumers. Favored for its fine texture and smoothness.
Furthermore, cashmere is more expensive because of its fineness. Most cashmere in my country has a fineness of 14-15 microns, so cashmere is often said in the market. The thinner the clothes you make, the better.
However, due to the unique characteristics of cashmere, how to clean it is also a big problem.
You must know that cashmere fabrics cannot be washed with a washing machine, and cannot be hung to dry. Improper storage can easily lead to insect damage, and improper handling can easily lead to lint loss.
Every time we lose not only velvet, but also our money. After all, “soft gold” is not called “soft gold” for nothing, right?
