Cashmere
Cashmere Goat Down:
Cashmere is a type of hair and not a breed. All goats have cashmere fibers, which is the thinnest and longest hairs they have. Usually, they grow around their belly and are downy and really fine. Cashmere is beloved because of their weight to warmth ratio: very light yet very warm. Under a microscope, cashmere hair has thinner scales than wool's, which gives it its signature softness.
Alashan, Inner Mongolia, China:
The most prized goats live in Alashan, Inner Mongolia -- a Chinese SAR -- where the accidental confluence of economic and environmental conditions mean the goats here grow the finest cashmere hair.
