Cashmere is a rare, unique animal fiber (different from  wool). It is a precious raw textile material called 'fiber diamond' and 'soft gold' abroad. Since the Kashmir region in Asia was historically a distribution center for cashmere exports to Europe, it is customary to call cashmere 'Cashmir Cashmere' internationally; China uses its homonym 'cashmere.' Cashmere is the downed wool combed from the goat. Among them, the quality of the down produced by the goat is the best. When the goat is defiled every spring, the flint is grabbed from the goat's body with a special iron comb called raw wool. The washed raw wool is combed to remove the coarse hair, dead hair, and dandruff in the raw wool, called unplush. Cashmere is available in white, blue, and purple, of which white velvet is the most precious. The quality standards of plush-free in China are divided into five grades, which are graded according to the coarse rate, the miscellaneous rate, and length indicators. The grading standards of white velvet and purple velvet are also different. For instance, the highest grade of cashmere must have a coarse rate of less than 5%, a miscellaneous rate of less than 0.5%, and a length of at least 36 mm.

Cashmere, a thin layer of fine wool that grows on the outer skin of goats, is a testament to nature's ingenuity. It covers the root of the goat's coarse hair, providing a natural insulation layer. This layer emerges in winter, enduring the harshest of conditions, and falls off after the beginning of spring warms, a natural adaptation to the changing climate.
