  • The origin of

    Cashmere Fibers

    Cashmere goats, scientifically known as Capra Hircus, are a breed native to InnerMongolia and have adapted to endure the severe cold of their winters. In order to with stand temperatures as low as -30°C, these goats develop a luxuriously soft and delicate undercoat beneath their longer and coarser outer hair.

    When spring arrives and temperatures start to rise, herders meticulously hand-comb the goats to gather the exquisite fibers that would otherwise naturally shed.The production of cashmere fibers from these goats is quite limited, with each goat yielding no more than 200g annually. This scarcity highlights the exclusive quality of cashmere, since it takes the hair of two to five goats to create an average sweater your brand’s unique selling points.

  • Beyond the

    SOFTNESS

    Greater fiber length is advantageous as it reduces the likelihood of pilling, as shorter fibers tend to loosen more easily from the surface of the fabric. Cashmere fibers are remarkably fine, with an average diameter of less than 19 microns, in contrast to human hair which measures 60-120 microns in diameter.

    Despite their fine nature, cashmere fibers possess hollow structures, rendering them lightweight and adaptable to varying temperatures. During winter, these hollow fibers create air chambers that trap body heat, preventing its escape and providing insulation that is over eight times more effective than wool.

    In warmer seasons, cashmere exhibits hygroscopic properties, effectively drawing moisture away from the skin. This characteristic produces a cooling effect, ensuring comfort in diverse climates.

  • Specifications of

    finished luxe

    The term "ply" denotes the number of threads twisted together to form a single strand of cashmere yarn.

    When two threads are combined, it is referred to as 2-ply cashmere. Likewise, three threads result in 3-ply, and so on. The term "gauge" refers to how tightly the cashmere fabric is knitted, and it is determined by the number of stitches per inch. A higher gauge number indicates a finer and more delicately knitted piece.

    For example, a sweater with a 16-gauge is considered lightweight and showcases intricate knitting, while a 5-gauge piece appears visibly thicker and has a more pronounced texture.
