This sought-after fabric has become synonymous with luxury; the soft, insulating material is one of the most valuable natural products used in the fashion industry today. Cashmere is made from the soft fleecy under layer of a goat’s coat. There is a breed of Cashmere goats which the soft fibers often come from, but it can actually be taken from any herd as long as the hairs are fine enough to make the cut. The name Cashmere is derived from the location Kashmir, where the fiber was originally produced as far back as the 13th century.
