The raw Cashmere fibre orders comes from these goats and is gathered  by hand combing the delicate fine undercoat of the goat in the spring of each year. This fine fibre provides   insulation and warmth for the goats from the extreme winter climate they experience though the winter.

In the nineteenth centaury Scottish traders imported raw fibres to create Cashmere knitwear that has become famous throughout the world.
