What is good cashmere?
Cashmere is synonymous with softness, luxury and elegance. It is a material that is not only about pleasant feeling to the touch, but also about timeless style. With its fine texture and exceptional warmth, cashmere pieces have become a wardrobe favorite for many fashionistas, and you're probably one of them. But what really determines the differences in its quality and price? How do you know that your new cashmere sweater or scarf is really good quality?
Thread length: The key to quality
The length of the cashmere fibers plays a crucial role in the quality of the final product. Longer fibers intertwine more easily, resulting in stronger fibers that are more resistant to pilling. Longer fibers are therefore of better quality and increase the longevity of cashmere garments.
Kashmir AC
Cashmere is divided into three grades based on fiber thickness and length, with grade A being the highest quality.
Grade A cashmere has the longest and finest fibers with a diameter of only 14-15.5 microns and a length of 34-36 mm. This grade is characterized by exceptional softness and lightness, and retains its shape best. Grade B cashmere is slightly thicker, with a diameter of around 19 microns, and offers a compromise between quality and affordability. Grade C , the most affordable variant, has the coarsest fibers with a diameter of around 30 microns and is less soft compared to the higher grades.
To give you a better idea: a human hair is 50-100 microns thick, so imagine 1/3 of your hair!
The path to sustainability and a gentle production process
The price of cashmere is influenced by its grade - higher grades are more expensive due to their quality. However, it is also influenced by the supply chain and manufacturing processes. With the increasing demand for cashmere, various environmental problems arise, for example, the increased number of goats that graze all the grass in the area gradually turns the landscape into a desert. However, there are many positive activities that set the rules of husbandry and teach the shepherds themselves how to properly care for their goats. One of them is, for example , the Sustainable Fiber Alliance. The fibers used in JUSTLOVE products are certified by this organization.
So if you want to invest in quality cashmere that will accompany you for many seasons, pay attention not only to its appearance, but also to its origin. Buy from sellers who are transparent with you and will have no problem describing exactly where they source their cashmere.
