Pure Cashmere & Noble Fibers
Cashmere is surely the noblest of all premium wools
and over the centuries has always been a precious and sought-after fibre.
The Cashmere goat has very long, straight and
coarse hair but is characterized by a unique and precious undercoat.
The undercoat is characterized by an extremely soft hair which
is developed over the winter months in order to protect
the animal from the cold and hard climate of the Plateaux.
Once the undercoat has been worked we get the cashmere we all know.
ALPACA
The adorable Alpaca primarily resides in Chile,
Peru and Bolivia.The yarn made by this animal hair is considered soft as Lamb Wool but lighter. The yarn is warm, durable and extremely soft
Noble Fibers

Merino Wool is known for being the softest of any sheep’s wool.
