What’s in a name?
Cashmere is a special type of wool made from goats in the Kashmir region of India, though production of this luxury wool has grown to Europe, Asia and even North America. The wool is unique for the lightness, strength and fineness of the fibers paired with its heavy insulation capabilities. That’s why cashmere sweaters keep you just as warm as bulky sweaters made of sheep’s wool.
