Fact About Mongolian Cashmere
1). Extreme Climate Creates Finer Fibers
Mongolia has one of the harshest climates on Earth, with winter temperatures dropping below -40°C. To survive, goats grow an exceptionally fine and dense undercoat — the source of premium cashmere. Harsher climate = finer, softer fibers.
2). Naturally Longer and Stronger Fibers
Mongolian cashmere fibers are typically longer and more uniform than cashmere from many other regions.
Longer fibers mean:
-
Less pilling
-
Better durability
-
Smoother finished fabric
3). Mongolia Is the World’s Largest Raw Cashmere Source Mongolia produces over 40% of the world’s raw cashmere supply, making it the most important origin globally.
4). Hand-Combing TraditionCashmere in Mongolia is still traditionally hand-combed during spring molting season, which:
-
Protects fiber integrity
-
Keeps fibers cleaner
-
Avoids damage from machine shearing
5). Naturally Hypoallergenic & Breathable Mongolian cashmere contains very low lanolin, making it:
