CASHMERE FAQs

Q: What is cashmere, is it kind of tiny wool?
﹛﹛Cashmere is not just a kind of tiny wool, it is not wool at all. Cashmere comes from goats living in the high and dry plateaus surrounding the Gobi Desert of Mongolia and China. Exposed to the most extreme environmental elements of altitude and cold, the goats grow a downy undercoat of soft hair beneath their coarse exterior coat, those hairs are extremely sleek, soft, warm and silky, they are called Cashmere

.
Q: Why is cashmere usually so expensive?
﹛﹛Cashmere, the very word evokes images of luxury, warmth and softness. The ultra-fine fiber from the undercoat of the Cashmere (or Kashmir) goat, is indeed a premium fiber - one that generally costs a good deal more than mere sheep's wool.
Cashmere is the highest class of all natural fiber, warmer, softer, and lighter than all the rest. A goat only produces about 50 grams of washed cashmere each year. A woman's sweater usually weighs 150 to 300 grams. That's the cashmere from 3 to 6 goats! Furthermore, garment production requires more than 20 separate processes, special equipment, and a lot of labor.


Q: What exactly is Pashmina?
﹛﹛ In despite of all the fancy stories, let us see the explanation from the official organization for wildlife: FWS (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service): "Pashmina is the local name in India for the cashmere goat. Recently, this name is attributed to not only the source animal, but to the fiber and the actual shawl itself. Pashmina shawl has become extremely popular in the fashion world since publicity about the illegality of shahtoosh ended most overt shahtoosh sales."


Q:Could you give us some easy Tips for cashmere care?
﹛﹛Most stores would recommend or even request professional dry clean when it comes to clean your cashmere garments, but actually this is not the best way. Thinking of the way you care your own hair, this also applies to your cashmere sweaters, because they are all Natural fibers.So as true savvy cashmere lovers, we would like to share our Easy Tips with you. Those tips are easy to follow, You do not have to spend a lot of time and money on professional dry clean again!

Q:How to wash?

﹛﹛Hand wash in lukewarm water using your hair shampoo. Be sure to dissolve the shampoo thorough then put the sweater into water. Rinse with hair conditioner, this would make your cashmere sweater more softer. Wash colored garments separately.

Do not bleach.

Squeeze gently, do not twist or wing. Twisting the wet sweater would stretch the shape of your sweater.
Dry flat after removing excess water, away from direct heat and sunlight.
Press with damp cloth, using a cool iron, iron from the inside of the garment.

Q:How to store?
﹛﹛Before storing your precious cashmere garments in basements or attics, check carefully for leaks, dampness and sunlight.
﹛﹛Fold clothes or pack them neatly in tissue paper or plastic bag and store them in closet away from light, dust and dampness.
﹛﹛Cleaning before storage is recommended, as fresh stains that may not yet be visible will oxidize and become fixed during storage, they may also be the food for moths. Moths have a discerning palate, they feast only on natural fabrics. Mothballs (naphthalene) and cedar chips are standard protection from moth infestation of woolens.
﹛﹛To store a pure cashmere sweater during summer, the most important thing is to keep moisture away, so please do not store cashmere in a damp place. A well-sealed plastic storage box (available in most stores) is good enough (a see-through one is better as you can notice that if there is any moisture inside). Make sure the box is dry before you put sweaters in.
﹛﹛To keep the moth away, the first important thing is to make sure that the sweater is clean before long-time storage. Pay close attention to any food stains as moths are particularly attracted to our normal food proteins and cooking oils. Those mothproofing products are helpful, or simply spray some perfume on a piece of paper and put the paper next to your sweater inside the box.
