Our Product Story
Lambswool refers to the soft, resilient wool fibers shorn from lambs when they are seven to eight months old. At this point, the wool is very soft - perfect for providing warmth and comfort in sweaters, blankets, pillows, etc.
Everybody's favorite luxury, cashmere comes from the downy fibers of the Kasmir goat, most often found in Mongolia. The soft hair is woven or knitted into fine garments and can also be blended with silk, cotton, or wool. Since one sweater typically requires the fleece from 4 to 6 animals, cashmere tends to be expensive. Separation of the soft fibers from the long, coarse hair is tedious and difficult, which also contributes to the fabric's expense.
