100% Pure CashmereCashmere is the soft down brushed once a year from the undercoat of kashmiri goats. It is one of the rarest and most valuable fibers on earth. Shepherd Textiles Pure Cashmere Fiber is 100% real cashmere, with no cheap fillers or substitutes. |
The Most Luxurious FiberCashmere is the most luxurious of all the natural fibers. It is softer and warmer than even the best merino wool. Ours is the finest grade on the international market, with an average fiber diameter (AFD) of only 13 microns. It is as soft as a cloud. |
Ethically SourcedOur cashmere comes from herds that graze the vast Mongolian plains, not animals confined to commercial feed lots. The goats are brushed once annually when they blow their coats, and the precious cashmere fibers are then carded for us in Italy by DHG. |
Warm, Soft YarnCashmere roving can be spun into incredibly soft, warm yarns. Ours has a staple length of about 3", which makes it pleasant to work with. Cashmere yarn will create wonderful hats, gloves, scarves, and blankets, far softer than anything sold at the store. |
Ethically sourced from wild-grazing herds of kashmiri goats.
Our premium cashmere is snow-white and soft as a cloud.
