100% Cashmere by Makalu, Canada /China
natural

If your passion is pure cashmere in its natural beauty of colours, with the maximum softness, this excellent quality, un-dyed Tibetan Cashmere from Mt. Makalu (the highest mountain located 22 km east of Everest, on the border between Nepal and Tibet) in worsted weight is for you.

♦ Un-dyed cashmere ranges in colour from winter white to chocolate brown, with a number of gradations of brownish-grey. White cashmere is the most valuable because of its superior softness. More dye on cashmere can cause a slightly coarser hand. Buying un-dyed cashmere, you completely protect yourself from rough quality. Two colours: Natural White and Natural Taupe (Brownish Grey) are in our inventory.

* Cashmere is yarn made from the undercoat of the Kashmir Goat. The most valuable cashmere fiber is produced in inner Mongolia and Tibet. Tip: when buying cashmere, avoid skeins that look very fuzzy or have a halo, they will pill more quickly. Also high quality cashmere must not be limp.
