There is a saying, "A sheep's hair can be made into many woolen sweaters, but only the hair of many goats can be made into a cashmere sweater

Because the collection method of cashmere is more complex and the production is much less than that of wool, the price of cashmere is much higher than that of wool. However, there is a reason why it is expensive. Compared to wool, clothes made from cashmere have a higher sense of comfort and stronger insulation ability.
