The difference between sheep wool and cashmere

1. Cashmere is the fine wool that grows on the goat. This kind of goat is called cashmere goat. It has good heat retention and moisture absorption. The diameter of the cashmere is 14-17 microns and the length is 30-45 mm. The fiber of cashmere is composed of It is composed of cortex layer and scale layer. The cross section of the fiber is elliptical and cylindrical. The annual output of one goat is about 75 grams without plush. shirt. Cashmere products mainly include cashmere sweaters, cashmere pants, cashmere skirts, cashmere scarves and so on. From the outside, it has the characteristics of natural luster, soft and rich feel, soft, light, warm, smooth and elastic. Therefore, cashmere is known as "fiber gem" and "soft gold". 2. Sheep do not produce cashmere at all, and naturally there is no cashmere sweater. In fact, sheep produce wool, which has a large output and a large quantity. The fineness of the wool is 20-40 microns and the length is 50-200 mm. It can be woven by woolen and worsted products, such as coats, uniforms, blankets , wool tweed, wool Biji, wool sweater and so on. "Cashmere" and "Cashmere" are two products with completely different intrinsic quality, and the price of the former is generally 5 times that of the latter.

Types of cashmere raw materials

Types of cashmere products

Cashmere is divided into white velvet, green velvet, purple velvet and so on according to its color. 1. White velvet 1. Color: light green with grayish-white color, no variegated fluff can be caught, otherwise it will be treated at the price of green velvet. The color difference of white velvet is 150%. 2. Place of Origin: Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is a famous white velvet producing area in my country. It is produced in Etuoke Banner, Etuoke Front Banner, Hangjin Banner, Zhungeer Banner, Dalat Banner, Bayeng Urad Middle and Back of Ordos City , Qianqi, Dengkou County, Arab League Azuo, Right Banner and Ejina Banner and so on. In April 1988, it was approved as a new breed of "Inner Mongolia White Cashmere Goat" by the People's Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, with a quantity of about 4 million. 3. Features: slender fibers, strong tensile force, good weakness, high net cashmere rate, and rock candy color. Baotou white velvet is sub-white, with slender fibers, high tensile force, and the luster is of the best quality among Inner Mongolia velvets. , The fiber is slender, the resistance is large, the luster is good, and the softness is slightly worse than the above-mentioned white cashmere. Among them, white cashmere is also produced in Yingkou, Gaixian, Tongliao, Qinghai, Liuyuan, Tibet, and Hami. Due to the dry climate in these areas and the less sandy soil content in the cashmere, the cashmere content is high. Two, green velvet 1. Color: light blue with grayish white, a small amount of black silk is allowed, and the color ratio difference is 120%. 2. Place of Origin: Green cashmere is the cashmere produced by green goats and brown-red goats. Green cashmere is rarely produced in my country, and it is mainly produced in Xilingol League, Ulanqab League and other places of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The quality is good. 3. Features: The fibers are long, but thicker, with greater pulling force and good luster. In addition to the above-mentioned areas, Xinjiang also produces cashmere in my country. In the past, Xinjiang cashmere was not divided into white cashmere, green cashmere, purple cashmere, and red cashmere. The fiber is long, the fineness is thick, and the green velvet is red with flesh. The Kashgar area mainly produces purple velvet, which is black due to the poor grass quality in the area.

Cashmere properties

Cashmere has irregular thin and deep curls, composed of scale layer and cortex layer, no medulla layer, the density of scales is about 60-70/mm, the fiber cross section is approximately circular, and the diameter is thinner than fine wool , the average fineness is mostly 14-16um, the unevenness of fineness is small, about 20%, and the length is generally 35-45mm. Keep warm all in one. Fibers are moderately strong, elastic, and have a natural soft color. Cashmere is more sensitive to acid, alkali and heat than fine wool. Even under the conditions of lower temperature and lower concentration of acid and alkali, the fiber damage is significant, and it is especially sensitive to chlorine-containing oxidants. One is slender, soft and warm. Cashmere is the thinnest kind of animal fibers. Albas cashmere is generally between 13um and 15.5um in fineness, with high natural crimp. It is closely arranged in spinning and weaving, and has good cohesion, so it has good heat retention. Cashmere fiber has small and smooth scales on the outside, and there is an air layer in the middle of the fiber, so it is light in weight and feels smooth and waxy. Second, the color is natural and soft. Cashmere fibers are uniform in fineness, low in density, and have regular circular cross-sections. They have strong hygroscopicity, can fully absorb dyes, and are not easy to fade. Compared with other fibers, cashmere has the advantages of natural luster, softness, purity and gorgeousness. The third is flexibility and elasticity. Because of its large number of crimps, crimp rate and crimp recovery rate, cashmere fiber is suitable for processing into knitted fabrics with a plump, soft and elastic feel. Shrinkage, good shape retention.

Summary of cashmere

Cashmere is a thin and curved fiber, which contains a lot of air and forms an air layer, which can defend against the invasion of external cold air and keep the body temperature from decreasing. Cashmere is much thinner than wool, and the outer scales are also finer and smoother than wool, so it is light, soft and tough. It is especially suitable for making underwear. When worn close to the body, it is light, soft, soft, smooth and very comfortable, which is unmatched by any fiber. Cashmere is a rare special animal fiber (different from sheep wool), and is a precious textile raw material, which is called "fiber diamond" and "soft gold" in foreign countries. Since the Asian Kashmir region was historically the distribution center for cashmere to be exported to Europe, it is customary to call cashmere "Cashmere" internationally; China adopts its homophonic name as "Cashmere". Cashmere is the down that is combed from the goat body, among which the down quality of the cashmere goat is the best. Every spring when the goat is shedding, the down that is grabbed from the body of the goat with a special iron comb is called raw cashmere. . The washed raw cashmere is combed, and the cashmere obtained after removing the coarse hair, dead hair and dander in the raw cashmere is called no-fluff. Cashmere has three colors of white, blue and purple, among which white cashmere is the most precious.
