WHY IS 100% CASHMERE WOOL A SUPER MATERIAL?
Cashmere wool comes from the under ”down” wool of goats, the fine wool closest to the body. It is the wool that warms the goats at high altitudes.
🙏Cashmere fiber is ”Hypoallergenic” which means a product with low allergenic potential and makes it less likely to cause an allergic reaction compared to other products.
🙏The cashmere garment has the ability to insulate, breathe and warm.
🙏Cashmere is also a so-called hygroscopic fiber, which essentially means that it absorbs water from the air. This helps regulate the body in both hot and cold temperatures by absorbing and releasing moisture based on the surrounding environment.
About cashmere & pashmina.
Like many exclusive materials and products, trade and manufacturing have their origins in the trade routes between Asia and Europe for thousands of years. Cashmere has been produced in Mongolia, Nepal and Kashmir for thousands of years. The fiber is also known as pashm (Persian for wool) or pashmina (Persian/Urdu word derived from Pashm) due to its use in handmade shawls from Kashmir. References to wool shawls appear in texts preserved from between the 4th century BC and the 11th century AD. The name comes from a specific breed of goat “Changthangi” from Kashmir, where production began in the 13th century. The history of Kashmir wool’s journey from Kashmir to Persia, Paris, Scotland, China, the USA is both intricate and very interesting.
