CASHMERE
Cashmere is a thin and curved fiber, which contains a lot of air, and forms an air layer, which can defend against the invasion of cold outside air and keep body temperature without lowering. Cashmere is much finer than wool, and its outer scales are finer and smoother than wool. Therefore, it is lighter in weight, softer and more resilient. It is especially suitable for making underwear. When worn next to the body, it is light, soft, smooth and very comfortable, unmatched by any fiber.
Only the cashmere from goats is called cashmere, which is what we call "Kashmir". The wool from sheep is called sheep wool in the industry. Even if sheep wool is very fine, we call it wool professionally. It is not called velvet, of course it can also be called fine wool.
The wool fabric is delicate, soft, smooth and waxy, with a soft and bright natural luster like silk. It is a very precious textile material with low content, high quality and high price. Wool fiber has low strength, good elasticity and extensibility, and the fabric made is not easy to wrinkle, because the elasticity of wool is good, and the wrinkles of the fabric will recover after hanging.
Wool fiber has strong moisture absorption ability and is not easy to show moisture after moisture absorption, so it is comfortable and breathable when wearing. Wool fiber has natural curl, good bulkiness, soft luster, excellent dyeing performance, and very warmth. It is a good material for winter inner and outerwear. .

CAMEL HAIR
Camel hair is the fluff from the abdomen of a camel, which is cut and combed. Camel hair is apricot yellow in color, soft and fluffy. Because the camel hair fiber has a hollow bamboo-shaped structure, it is more conducive to keeping warm and cold. It is one of the important raw materials for making high-end wool textiles.
Camel hair products are light, soft and warm. They are called "natural protein fibers" and "soft gold" by fiber experts because of their softness, light weight, and rarity. They have become an important export material. The camel hair produced by Alxa League in Inner Mongolia has large output and good quality, and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad.
YAK
The yak is known as the boat of the plateau. It is a unique cattle species that grows on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its adjacent alpine grasslands. In pastoral areas, there is such a saying: "Yak is the second mother of children in pastoral areas." There are more than 12 million yaks in China, accounting for more than 85% of the world's total.The yak is the mammal that lives at the highest altitude in the world.
The yak is picked once a year, and the annual output of an adult yak is 1.17～2.62kg. Yak velvet is very thin, with irregular curves, soft scales, strong elasticity, and smooth and waxy hand. Yak wool is more warm and soft than ordinary wool. In recent years, it has been used in the field of clothing production. With the improvement of processing technology and technology, yak wool will be widely recognized and become another high-end textile material after cashmere.
