History and origin of the Cashmere wool.
According to legend, in the 13th century Marco Polo discovered caves in Mongolia with pictorial drawings representing wild she-goats bred by farmers. The idea suggests that shepherds have been farming she-goats for centuries so it is quite probably that warm garments from this wool could have been created then. This is like a god-given gift for regions where the winter is severely cold. In the 19th century, a completely astonished Europe discovered this precious wool and named it cashmere wool.
You have to climb up to the high Himalayan prairies of the Ladakh and Tibet if you want to find the authentic Cashmere wool. You might then come across the Capra Hircus at around 4000 meters of altitude. Nowadays, this she-goat is not wild any more and is totally bred; you can also hear about it under the “Pashmina” name.
This animal needs to produce a very thick fleece of wool made of very long hair in order to go through the winter season that lasts for a 6 months period.
This extraordinary wool made a very highly famous nomination “Cashmere wool” all around the world.
