According to records, Cashmere was originally derived from the fine hair on the neck and abdomen of a goat named Capra-Hircus. In order to survive in extreme habitats above 4,500 meters above sea level, goats develop extra soft, slender, curly hair within the coat. Residents in the mountains collect the naturally shed wool every spring, sort and sort it into fibers. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50816281177_cd1b929ece_k.jpg ｜**Why are the prices of Cashmere products on the market so different?**｜ What makes Cashmere so noble is that there is only high-quality ultra-slender cashmere capable of pulling such slender yarns. However, today's manufacturers use the relatively cheap and relatively rough Merino wool to synthesize the yarn with a diameter of 14-19 microns, which is also called 100%. cashmere. The difference in material alone is enough to make a huge difference in price. Not to mention, all the details of the production process, such as: whether the cashmere is humane or not, machine or hand spinning, friendly labor and fair trade... and so on these intangible costs. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50816175461_3b52ffcd4c_k.jpg ｜**There are many Nepalese cashmere scarves on the market, why should I knit it with Zi｜baccabi'u buy it**｜ Travelers who have visited Nepal must be familiar with Thamel District, which is a shopping district that gathers all tourists and all kinds of handicrafts. The quality and price of the goods sold by the merchants are very different. If we don’t put some effort into research and exploration, it is really difficult to tell what kind of goods we buy. During the years of sojourn, I have also learned from the purchases and visits of stores, wholesale manufacturers, wholesale manufacturers' factories, and export factories. Although it is still far from the highest standard in my mind (natural and friendly wool from the Himalayas, and then made by artificial fiber extraction, carding, spinning, weaving, dyeing/silk printing). But at this stage, what I am confident and able to guarantee is that we and our cooperating manufacturers are friendly and verifiable regarding the acquisition of raw materials and the manufacturing process. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52078860872_3816c1813b_b.jpg ｜**How to distinguish authenticity?**｜ Because the yarn is very thin, it is indeed impossible to easily distinguish the authenticity from the appearance alone. Some merchants on the market will use fire to prove that their products are high-quality cashmere. But through the previous description, we have learned more about cashmere. We know that unless it is a blend of man-made fibers, it is also natural wool, and it is impossible to distinguish the quality in this way. In addition to using a microscope to measure the fiber diameter, a slightly experienced user can also feel the difference after use. First, the real high cashmere has very fine piles, and the air layer produced after being woven into a scarf, the breathable, warm and soft body feeling is not comparable to that of blended wool; Second, the fiber itself of real high cashmere is very slender and strong. Although the natural material cannot avoid the generation of hair balls, the speed and texture of hair balls are quite different for different grades of cashmere. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52079900936_1156f1cbef_b.jpg ｜**Do I really need a Cashmere scarf?**｜ For budget considerations, 100% high-quality cashmere is by no means the first choice. 30% cashmere 70% merino wool fabric is also natural, breathable, soft and warm. It is a good choice for both texture and design. However, those who have used 100% cashmere must agree that this is an absolutely worthwhile investment. Take good care of it, and it will last a lifetime. In terms of usage period and frequency, it is really noble but not expensive at all. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52078860512_b1cb815bb9_b.jpg ｜**Daily Maintenance**｜ **Objects with natural materials, just like people and things you love** **Frequent use and careful attention** **It will be happy to stretch and be strong, soft and warm to accompany us for a long time** It is a natural phenomenon that hairballs are formed in areas that are frequently rubbed. The same is true for any grade of wool, cloth, or even artificial fibers. As long as the formed fibers are shorter and the density of the texture is looser, it is easier to agglomerate due to friction. It is not difficult to handle, and there is no need to worry about destroying the structure of the clothes, Just carefully cut off the hair ball with small scissors. Due to the meticulous organization of knitted goods, if the yarn is accidentally hooked during use, Please keep calm and gently pull in the direction of the interweaving, usually you can restore the original appearance, If it still can't be restored, please cut off the protruding wool first, and then pull it again. (The production method of knitting is different. If the yarn is hooked, it needs to be handled by professionals. Do not cut the thread by yourself, it will cause permanent damage) We recommend not cleaning too often, Usually after use, shake the dust, store it in a ventilated place, and keep the wool breathable and breathable. When the season changes, properly clean and air-dry, and then store it in a dry closet to avoid hanging to avoid deformation. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52080132314_e94974e94c_b.jpg ｜**How to wash**｜ **Simply focus on this fabric in hand** **Let it accompany you for a quiet maintenance and washing time** We recommend hand washing for a more natural soft touch than dry cleaning. Take a small amount of premium sweater-specific detergent and/or a mild, natural-based shampoo, Put it in cold water (within 35 degrees) and mix it into a lotion; Immerse the fabric and press it repeatedly to allow the water to flow between the fibers and take away the dirt; Then, with running water, gently press repeatedly until the water is clear; Finally, roll up with a large towel to absorb moisture, lay flat and dry in a ventilated place after shaping. Do not use laundry detergent, bleach, or hot water; do not rub, rub, or squeeze vigorously during the process. If you want to get rid of wrinkles, steam, or low temperature cloth ironing. If you are not at ease, of course, you can send it to dry cleaning and let a professional take care of your fabrics for you. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52080384765_5a3bd20403_b.jpg
