Baby cashmere is a material produced with the fleece of the white hircus goat, an animal that lives exclusively in Alashan, a desert region located between Mongolia and northern China. Baby cashmere is rarer than adult fleece and 15% finer than the finest cashmere. It differs from adult cashmere in quantity, finesse and softness. Its precious fiber is in fact available in extremely limited quantities since it is harvested only once in the life of each puppy. In this period, the kid produces only 80 grams of extraordinarily soft and precious material, unlike the 250 grams that are collected from adult specimens. The fleece is then separated from the thicker surface layer and what remains for processing are just 30 grams of fiber.
