Lay sweater out flat on a clean dry towel.
Reshape and dry away from heat and sun.

Environmental Benefits

Cashmere goats are low-maintenance and thrive by free-grazing on natural pasture without chemicals, toxins or hormones. Producers encourage good health through their more holistic management practices.

Goats are shorn or combed during their natural moulting season. Both methods are time consuming and tedious which results in the typically higher cost of cashmere.

Most of the cashmere comes off the sides and back of the goat, right from the shoulder to the rump and can be woven into yarn for both light-weight and heavy-weight fabrics.

The coarse guard hair is removed by hand leaving the fine and soft undercoat fibers. This process is called "de-hairing". The cashmere fibers yield highly because of their softness and purity. The coarse guard hair is used for brushes and non-apparel.

The natural animal grease and dirt is removed and the cashmere is then ready to be processed into yarn and converted into cashmere clothing or fabrics.

The annual world clip has been estimated at between 15,000 - 20,000 tons of raw cashmere wool with natural color ranges from white to black and natural shades in between.
