How much do you know about the history of cashmere?

Summary:

Cashmere is a thin layer of fine velvet that grows on the outer skin of goats and hides at the roots of goats. It grows in the cold winter, resists the cold, falls off after warming in spring, naturally adapts to the climate, and is a rare special animal fiber. . The reason why cashmere is very precious is not only because of the scarcity of production (only 0.2% of the world's total animal fiber production), but more importantly, its excellent quality and characteristics are considered to be "fibre gem" and "fiber queen".

There may be a lot of cashmere sweaters, cashmere scarves or cashmere coats in your closet, but do you know what cashmere is? Many people mistake the fine wool for cashmere. In fact, this is wrong. Cashmere and wool are very different. Let's first look at a group of comics!

1. Different sources

Cashmere and wool grow on different types of sheep. Wool comes from sheep and cashmere is produced from goats.

The best wool in the world comes from Australia. The best cashmere comes from my domestic Mongolian region, and 70% of the world's cashmere is produced in Inner Mongolia.

2. Different acquisition methods

Collecting wool is like getting a haircut or undressing, shaving all with scissors, and “getting off” the whole.

The cashmere grows at the root of the goat's rough hair. When collecting cashmere, use a special iron comb to comb it down like a comb.

3. Different yields

Each sheep can produce several kilograms of wool per year, and each goat can only harvest tens of grams of cashmere. A sheep's hair can be made into many sweaters, and the goat's cashmere needs a lot to make a cashmere sweater.

4. Different skin-friendly

Cashmere has a diameter of 14~16 microns, which is much thinner than wool. It is lighter and softer. It is worn on the body. It has good skin-friendly and comfortable appearance and can be worn close to the body.

5. Different hygroscopicity

The moisture absorption of cashmere is stronger than that of wool. This is first reflected in the color. The cashmere does not fade after dyeing, and the color is full. Secondly, it is reflected in the dressing experience, and the cashmere is breathable and comfortable.

6. Different warmth

The warmth of cashmere is 1.5~2 times that of wool. Under the same external temperature, the warmth and warmth of cashmere exceeds that of wool, which is the best choice for winter dress fabrics.

7. Different colors

The scales of wool are pointed, while the scales of cashmere are round, the cashmere fibers are hollow, and there is no medulla layer, so the luster of cashmere is more abundant and soft.

8. Different wrinkle resistance

Cashmere has better resistance to wrinkles, with a slight wrinkle, and it can be flattened in just one night.

9. Different resistance to washing and shrinking

Cashmere sweaters do not shrink after washing, while sweaters shrink.

How to identify cashmere and wool

1 degree of light transmission

Because the scales of cashmere are thinner than wool, the light transmission performance under the microscope is good, the light transmission is uniform, the fiber brightness is uniform, no shadow, no protrusion; while the scales of wool are thick, the light transmission is uneven, and the hair shaft is more shadowy. And protrusions.

2 smoothness

Under the microscope, the scales of the cashmere fiber are tightly covered, the warp angle is small, and the slant angle is relatively smooth and flat; while the wool is thicker due to the thick scale, the surface has more protrusions and lacks smoothness.

3 degree of shrinkage

The scales of cashmere are longer, the spacing is larger, the arrangement is smaller than the density of wool, and the coefficient of friction between the scales is small, so the shrinkage after washing is better than wool; and the wool is poor.
