Why choose Cashmere blankets

Cashmere is a textile fiber obtained from the hair of a special goat bred in Mongolia, Turkey, India, Iran and Afghanistan called Kashmir goats, from which it takes its name.

In these areas the climate is very cold in winter and very hot in summer and the Kashmir goat is able to adapt to both temperatures thanks to its special fur. The Kashmir fleece is made up of two layers: a coarser and rougher surface layer and a very dense and very soft thermo-regulating and insulating undercoat from which the precious cashmere is produced.

In spring the shepherds proceed with the shearing and separation, using a special comb, of the finest and most precious fibers, from which cashmere is obtained. Only 2 ounces of hair are harvested from each goat a year, a rather small quantity which determines its value and high cost.
