100% Cashmere by Makalu, Canada /China

This premium quality Tibetan cashmere is in double knit weight and comes in a range of solid colours. The yarn is dyed so well that there is no flaw in the the colour even at the first wash.

* As a matter of fact, the best quality cashmere is made of the undercoat of cashmere goats, which live with harsh winds and poor vegetation in the barren Asian steppes. The more extreme the conditions, the better the quality of cashmere. There is also no possibility of raising cashmere goats away from their origin, they die after a few months of comfortable living on farms.
