Sci-Tech Encyclopedia: Cashmere

The natural fiber obtained from the Cashmere goat, native to the Himalayan region of China and India. The fleece of this goat has long, straight, coarse outer hair of little value; but the small quantity of underhair, or down, is made into luxuriously soft woollike yarns with a characteristic highly napped finish. Cashmere is a much finer fiber than mohair or wool fiber obtained from sheep. However, it is not as durable as wool. See also Mohair; Natural fiber; Wool.
