Pure Rarity
Baby Cashmere
The Capra hircus, also known as the cashmere goat, produces some of the finest raw materials in the world, but there is a fibre even rarer, softer, and lighter: the fleece of its kid. The differences between adult cashmere and baby cashmere are quantity, fineness, and softness. Baby cashmere is available in extremely limited amounts since it can only be gathered once in a lifetime from each kid, around the time that they are 6 months old. During this time, a kid produces no more than 80 grams of remarkably soft, super fine down, compared to around 250 grams for adult goats. Once the coarser outer coat is removed, what remains is 30 grams of usable fibre, making baby cashmere one of the most exclusive materials in the world.
