The finest yarn comes from the cold climate of Inner Mongolia. Cashmere is the soft, downy underfleece grown by goats in this region. Superior fleece is combed from the neck and underbelly of the cashmere goat in Spring. Fibre from one goat can produce enough cashmere to make only one scarf, three goats are needed to produce enough fleece to make a sweater.

Pilling is not indicative of inferior quality as it can be a natural occurrence in new cashmere. After the first wash these small balls of fibre will cease to form. Pills can easily be removed by using a cashmere comb.

Our cashmere can be dry-cleaned or handwashed using a gentle detergent. Always dry the garment flat away from direct heat or sunlight. When dry, press with a warm iron.

8 Inkerman has a complete range of cashmere combs, cedar balls, herbal anti-moth and fragrant clothing protectors to safeguard your investment.
