The difference between 100% cashmere and 100% sheep cashmere
There is no difference between 100% cashmere and 100% sheep cashmere, as cashmere is another term for cotton cashmere, so there is no difference between the two. Cashmere is a thin layer of fine wool that grows on the outer skin of a goat, covering the root of the goat's coarse hair. It grows out when it's cold in winter and resists wind chill. It falls off when it's warm in spring, naturally adapting to the climate. It is a rare special animal fiber.
Cashmere is very precious not only because of its scarce output, but also because of its excellent quality and characteristics. It is considered a "fiber gem" and a "fiber queen" in trade, unparalleled by all existing textile materials of mankind.
Cashmere fibers consist of a scaly layer and a cortical layer, without a medullary layer. Although there are irregular curls, the amount of curls is less than fine wool. The average diameter of the fiber is 15-16 microns, and the length is mostly 35-45 millimeters.
Cashmere has better strength and elasticity than wool, but is more sensitive to acids, alkalis, and heat. Even under weak treatment conditions, fiber damage is significant.
