On an adult goat, only 10 to 40 grams of cashmere can be obtained each year, and it takes 3-5 goats to knit a cashmere sweater.
In the cold winter in Inner Mongolia, wool sweater is the first choice for people to ward off the cold winter, and many friends may have a resistance to cashmere sweater, think wear on the body there will be a smell of goat stink, in fact, not, cashmere processing and handling are very delicate.
Get the fleece, will choose to use a special iron comb from the goat’s body to comb the fleece, washed after combing, remove the original fleece in the coarse hair, dead hair and dander and so on and get the cashmere, after a complex process to reach the final product.
