Selenge women's cashmere sweater

100% Cashmere

Mongolia is known for producing some of the rarest and highest quality cashmere. This is because sub-zero temperatures, dry, long winters and hot summers create a harsh environment that stimulates the growth of an ultra-fine undercoat in the Cashmere goats, resulting in soft and luxurious cashmere. Temperature fluctuations in winter often reach -40°C (-40°F), which forces the Cashmere goats to develop a denser and finer undercoat.

Mongolian cashmere is often marketed as more artisanal or traditional, highlighting the nomadic herding practices and sustainable, ecological methods used by Mongolian herders. It generally carries a higher value due to its superior quality and lower production volumes. This creates a luxury item that you will love and will accompany you on your unique journey through life.

Fiber length and density:

Mongolian cashmere has longer fibers, which contribute to its durability and softness. The fibers tend to be longer, typically 30-40 mm or more, which improves durability and pilling resistance.

Mongolian grasslands:

The diverse flora, including various grasses and shrubs, contributes to the nutrition of the goats and the quality of the cashmere.

The growing focus on sustainable and ethical production methods, including pastoral practices, benefits local communities.

Fiber diameter:

Generally, Mongolian cashmere has a fiber diameter ranging from 14 to 16 microns.

We recommend hand washing cashmere products in cold or lukewarm water, as hot water causes shrinkage or loss of shape. We do not recommend washing in a washing machine.

First, turn the product inside out and soak in cold water with a mild detergent - best for wool and cashmere.

Wash by gently wringing without twisting until dirt is removed. Remove from water after dirt is removed. Then rinse several times in cold water. After rinsing, gently wring again without twisting.

A dry towel can also be used to absorb excess water. Alternatively, wrap the washed product in a towel to prevent deformation. Wring repeatedly without twisting and do not hang.

After washing, the product should be laid out on a flat surface. Do not hang or stretch until the product is completely dry.
