\nIs defining \u2018legendary\u2019 a fabric excessive? If it\u2019s about cashmere, it\u2019s not!\n<\/p>\n

\nThe origins of this fiber blend into myth, in the evoking of emperors from the East who, fascinated by the quality of its properties, did everything to get it.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe legend says that in the 16th century Sultan Zain-ul-Abidin, heir of Gengis Khan, invited to his court a weaver from Turkestan, asking him to produce precious shawls: they were then named \u2018pashminas\u2019, from the Persian \u2018Pashm\u2019 (wool), the term that also indicated cashmere in the Indian continent.\n<\/p>\n

\nIts fibers derive from the fleece of the so-called \u2018Kashmir Goat\u2019, raised in countries such as Iran, Russia, Afghanistan, Turkey and India. The world\u2019s most refined cashmere comes from Mongolia: the northern side produces the \u2018brown\u2019 fiber, while the South produces the \u2018white\u2019 one, which is the most precious one. In order to protect themselves from cold, goats have two kinds of fleece \u2013 a superficial, raw one, and another one down under, close to the body, composed by short, warm fluff named \u2018duvet\u2019. \n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
