What is Cashmere?
Cashmere, also known as cashmere wool, is a luxurious fibre obtained from the soft undercoat of cashmere goats and certain other breeds of Himalayan goats. This material has been used for centuries to create yarn, textiles, and clothing. The term “cashmere” is derived from an anglicisation of Kashmir (north India), the region where the famous Kashmir shawls originated in the 19th century.
