About Cashmere

Cashmere wool, usually simply known as cashmere, is a fiber obtained from cashmere goats or pashmina goats and other types of goat. Cashmere is one of the most sought-after fibers in the world. It’s fine hairs are softer, lighter, and can be up to three times more insulating than sheep wool. It has been a prized material for centuries.

Cashmere can be seven to eight times warmer than merino wool. It has a higher loft, which makes it softer. These wools are more durable in comparison to others. Cashmere possesses great insulation properties that help contain body heat. … Unlike cotton, the properties of the cashmere fiber make it extremely durable. Sweaters made of cashmere retain their shape far longer than cotton, and do not shrink as easily when washed.

A shawl is a simple item of clothing, loosely worn over the shoulders, upper body and arms, and sometimes also over the head. It is usually a rectangular or square piece of cloth, which is often folded to make a triangle, but can also be triangular in shape. Other shapes include oblong shawls.
