Pure exotic and upscale quality. This free of dyes Tibetan Cashmere (Mt. Makalu, the highest mountain located 22 km east of Everest) has maximum softness and loft. Undyed cashmere ranges in colour from winter white to chocolate brown, with a number of gradations of brownish-grey. Undyed White cashmere is the most valuable because of its superior softness. Note that undyed cashmere fiber is extremely warm in order to serve its original purpose of protecting cashmere goats from cold mountain temperatures. This yarn is carefree when washed using any woolwash no rinse. Garments made of this pure cashmere yarn are extremely warm and exceptionally long-lasting with practically unnoticeable pilling after many, but gentle washes.

Garment Care: gentle hand wash in lukewarm water with eucalyptus wash or washing medium such as Dawn. Use the same temperature of water for wash and rinse to avoid "shoking" the fiber. Do not wring out the garment, but make a ball and gently squeeze it to remove excess water. Lay flat to dry, avoiding exposure to direct sunlight, and gently reshape.
