Cashmere is an English translator, kaschmir is a German translator, and cachemire is a French translator, but they all refer to cashmere fabrics.
Cashmere fabric is a special kind of animal hair, which is taken from cashmere goats and goats that can capture cashmere. Kashmir in Asia was once a distribution center for cashmere exports to Europe in history. The international market is used to calling cashmere "Kashmir", and China homonyms "cashmere".
Cashmere has the characteristics of fine, light, soft, smooth and warm, and is mainly used for pure spinning or blending with fine wool to make cashmere sweaters, cashmere scarves, cashmere tweed, cashmere coats and other high-end and expensive textiles. Cashmere is very precious, not only because its output is scarce (only accounting for 0.2% of the total animal fiber production in the world), but also because of its excellent quality and characteristics. In the transaction, it is considered as "fiber gem" and "fiber queen".
Advantages of cashmere fabric:
1, slender, soft and warm. Cashmere is one of the best animal fibers. Albas cashmere has a fineness of 13um- 15.5um, high natural curl, tight arrangement during spinning and weaving, and good cohesion, so it has good warmth retention, which is 1.5-2 times that of wool. Cashmere fiber scales are small and smooth, with an air layer in the middle, so it is light in weight and smooth to the touch.
2, the color is naturally soft. Cashmere fiber has uniform fineness, low density, regular circular cross section and strong hygroscopicity, which can fully absorb dyes and is not easy to fade. Compared with other fibers, cashmere has the advantages of natural luster, softness, purity and bright color.
3, flexible and elastic. Cashmere fiber has large crimp number, crimp rate and crimp recovery rate, which is suitable for processing into plump, soft and elastic knitted fabrics. Comfortable and natural to wear, good recovery characteristics, especially after washing, no shrinkage, good shape retention.
