Demand for cashmere, the fine underdown from cashmere goats that has long been preferred by royalty, has always exceeded supply. Garments made of cashmere are prized for their unique feel. Cashmere is very soft, warm and long wearing. It feels much softer to the skin than wool, and while not as strong, cashmere outwears wool!
The majority of the world supply of cashmere has come from Afghanistan, Iran, Outer Mongolia, India, and China. In recent years, when these countries' political disarray disrupted cashmere supplies, manufacturers began looking for more stable sources.
We are proud that we can grow our cashmere using traditional American values... that of high nutritional levels, good husbandry practices and humane harvesting techniques. We cannot and will not starve goats into growing "hunger-fine" fiber as they do in the historic cashmere producing regions of the world.
