The Origin
Cashmere is one of the most luxurious natural fibers. It has its origins in Central Asia among ancient shepherd communities, who use the fiber to protect themselves from the harsh environment. Today, the silky, fine fibers are used to create soft yarns which lay the foundation for woven and knitted fabrics. No other material is as fine and warm as cashmere. Its secret lies in a natural “air chamber” within each fiber, which provides built-in thermoregulation.
