Lambskin is a high-grade textile raw material that is usually used to make clothing and household items with excellent thermal insulation properties. It is a slender hair extracted from goats that has unique properties of warmth and comfort.
The origin of cashmere can be traced back to ancient times. According to historical records, around 3000 BC, people began to use the fine hair of goats to make clothing to keep out the cold and keep warm. At that time, people discovered that goat hair had excellent characteristics in terms of texture, thermal insulation properties and softness, making it a rare textile raw material. Over time, cashmere gradually became known as cashmere, especially baby cashmere with better quality, which is the most precious and popular.
Specifically, cashmere refers to the finest and softest velvet extracted from goat hair. The down is divided into outer velvet and inner velvet, and cashmere is the finest and best quality part of the inner velvet. Cashmere is relatively short, fine, and soft due to the inner layer of hair that comes from baby goats or grows only on the goat’s neck and back.
Cashmere has multiple characteristics that make it a unique textile raw material. First of all, cashmere has excellent thermal insulation properties. Because its fiber contains a large amount of air, it can effectively block the cold outside air, form a protective layer, and provide excellent thermal insulation effect. Cashmere provides better warmth than other fibers of the same weight. This is one of the reasons why cashmere products are so popular in winter.
Secondly, cashmere has a very soft touch. This is due to the fine fibers and structural characteristics of cashmere. The diameter of cashmere fibers is smaller, usually between 12-17 microns, while the diameter of human hair is approximately between 50-100 microns. This delicate fiber gives cashmere its exceptional softness and feel, making it ideal for making clothing that fits snugly and is comfortable.
In addition, cashmere also has excellent breathability and moisture regulation functions. There are many small pores on the surface of cashmere fiber, which can effectively absorb and discharge moisture, keeping the body dry and comfortable. This allows cashmere to provide a good wearing experience in different seasons.
In general, cashmere, as a high-quality textile raw material, has excellent thermal insulation properties, soft and comfortable touch, excellent breathability and humidity adjustment function. These characteristics make sherpa ideal for high-end clothing and homewares, making it a highly sought-after precious material on the market.
