cashmere (goat fleece)
Cashmere is a luxurious type of fiber obtained from the undercoat of certain goats, primarily the Cashmere goat. This soft, fine wool is prized for its excellent warmth, lightweight feel, and exceptional softness. The goats naturally shed this undercoat during seasonal changes, and it is carefully collected and processed into threads to produce high-quality textiles. Cashmere is often used in premium clothing such as sweaters, scarves, and coats, offering a comfortable and warm alternative to wool. Its scarcity and labor-intensive production make cashmere a sought-after and valuable material in the fashion industry.
