Cashmere gloves the indispensable luxury

By Pippa Hawthorn


You can feel the standard of Cashmere just by touching or stroking it. The luxury and softness of the fibre is what makes cahmere unique. The wool is produced from the cashmere goat. Cashmere goats produce a double fleece that consists of a fine, soft undercoat or underdown of hair mingled with a straighter and much rougher outer coating of hair called guard hair which isn't used.

For the fine underdown to be sold and processed further, it's got to be de-haired. De-hairing is a mechanical process that separates the coarse hairs from the fine hair. Once the fiber has been thru the systems of de-hairing, washing, carding it is ready either to spin ensuing cashmere.

The fiber is sometimes called pashm (Persian for wool) or pashmina (Persian word gleaned from Pashm) for its use in the hand-crafted scarfs of Kashmir. This goes back to the third century BC. The word cashmere derives from a very old spelling of Kashmir. Cashmere is fine in texture, and powerful, light, and soft. Clothes made from it provide excellent insulation.

The cashmere is then prepared to be dyed and converted into yarn and fabric employed in our cashmere threads. Gloves, socks, hats and scarfs.
