Cashmere is a lush fine undercoat found to varying degrees and qualities on all goats, except the Angora. (The Angora goat is used to produce another fibre called Mohair) Cashmere grows as a winter down which is shed as fast as the weather starts to get warm in early spring. This is when Cashmere is harvested ideally by brushing or by shearing.
More than 3 Kilo tonnes of cashmere is produced worldwide , the majority coming from China with reduced amounts from Afghanistan, Iran, New Zealand.
