Remarkably, the Changpa herders have resisted the lure of modern capitalism. They have been rearing the finest cashmere goats for centuries and unlike commercial breeders, they breed their goats very selectively with an uncompromising commitment to preserve their pedigree.
As a result, these goats shed the thinnest and longest fibers with a fiber length of 40 nm and a diameter of 50 nm. That’s about 10 times finer than a human hair (yes, you read that right) yet eight times warmer than regular wool.
And why should this matter to you? Cashmere fibers of a longer length are less likely to wear and tear and pill meaning they last longer. While it is painstaking to knit these thin cashmere fibers—the fabrics exude the sublime touch that one can expect from top-quality cashmere.
