Product type
Cashmere wool is a luxurious natural fiber obtained from the soft undercoat of cashmere goats, primarily found in regions with harsh climates such as Mongolia and China. This fiber is known for its exceptional softness, warmth, and lightweight properties, making it highly sought after in the textile industry for high-end garments and accessories. Cashmere wool is typically spun into yarn and woven or knitted into products like sweaters, scarves, and shawls.

When selecting cashmere wool, buyers should consider the fiber diameter and length, as these factors influence the softness and quality of the final product. It is also important to specify the desired natural color and any required certifications, such as sustainable sourcing practices. Buyers should request samples to assess the quality and feel of the cashmere before placing larger orders.
