With the onset of cold weather, clothes from a gentle and warm cashmere becomes relevant. Mongol Cashmere is a wonderful material with unique properties, which is created only in the harsh climate of Mongolia.
Specifications
Many people think that cashmere is such a kind of wool, but in fact it is not. Cashmere is much thinner and warmer (eight times) wool, because it is not produced from the hair (woolen) cover of goats and sheep, but from the fluff of these animals, or, as it is called differently, the undercoat. Cashmere yarn is created only from the undercoat of goats inhabitants in the highland areas of Mongolia. Actually, the name of Cashmere happened from the foothill of the Himalayan region - Kashmir. The breeding of these rocks of the goats in other climatic conditions does not give a bed of such high quality.
The properties of the Mongolian unique yarn, first of all, is its ease and softness: the three-gram-gram fabric easily will be easily extended through the female ring. Such properties are explained by the finest down fiber: each hairs is underlying thinner of the human hair three or four times. And due to the fact that the fluff is also hollow inside, Cashmere products have high heat insulation and can be worn both in cold and in the heat.
Tibetan goats due to their undercoat with ease tolerate strong temperature differences during the day: from the forty-graduate day heat to twenty-degree night frosts.
Despite weightlessness and subtlety, high-quality cashmere is very durable material and wear-resistant. The rods on the canvas are formed after a long service, partly - in the places of friction, but they are still straightened after proper washing. It has this material and other qualities.
- It is safe for allergies. Pooh Tibetan goats are absolutely hypoallergen, microscopic ticks are not breeding. Cashmere knitwear is suitable for clothing and covered even for newborns.
- It takes care of the skin, does not roll it and does not cause itching.
- It is able to treat the diseases of the joints and the spine with its dry penetrating heat into the heat. In addition, cashmere thing, dressed on a naked body, has a massage effect on the skin.
Features of production
The negative property of Cashmere is its high cost compared to the same wool. This is due to a complex production process and a low yield of a bed with one Tibetan goat per year: in just about 160. All stages of Cashmere production are performed manually, the technology is not undergraduate for several centuries. Pumping down the goats are also rarely produced: once a year, in the spring, when there is no danger that the animal will freeze.
For shawls of standard sizes, it will be necessary for underflood, filmed from 6-7 goats.
The undercoat sort by colors and quality. Color in natural fiber can be white (most valuable), gray, beige and black. At first, the finest fiber is taken from which the delicate yarn is produced under the name of Pashmina. Belube's fibers become the basis for the creation of "soft gold" from Mongolia - cashmere. A high-quality cashmere canvas is always made manually from the processing and spinning step to its staining. Things from it are perfectly sitting on the figure, they are warm and comfortable.
How to choose and care for?
The main and explicit criterion for the choice of high-quality cashmere is its price. The estimated price for which one can judge its quality is at least 3 thousand rubles per 1 m2. Even in the homeland of production, in Mongolia, this cost will not significantly decrease. T Just when choosing products from Cashmere, experts advise to rely on some criteria.
- Taking cashmere material into the hands, his weight should not be felt.
- Holding a hand on the canvas, the VILLIN should stay in their places, and not delay in different directions. Personal particles are talking about low quality cashmere fiber.
- On the tag of the product should be information about double weaving the thread. Since cashmere yarn is very thin, products made of double twisted threads will serve longer.
- Lack of coils. For cashmere things, the appearance of katoshkov is not characteristic. They appear only with improper operation or a very long sock.
- Cashmere canvas, claiming to the title of high-quality, should be so dense that when considering it, glimpses will not be visible. Translucent canvas will not warm properly.
- Cashmere article after stretching with his hands should find the initial shape. If the traces of stretching will persist - the thing is poor-quality.
- Pay attention to the quality of the seams, on their accuracy and the absence of curvature, because a thing from an expensive gentle canvas should serve not one season.
Provide a long sock and preserving a good appearance to cashmere products will help the correct care for them. First of all, it applies to washing: it should be very careful.
It is necessary to adhere to the rules of washing things from this precious material.
- The stains on the cashmere canvase are recommended to eliminate as quickly as possible under cold water using a non-aggressive liquid baby soap.
- The cashmere thing is not exposed to machine washing, even if the washing machine has delicate and gentle modes.
- Things with strong and fat spots are better to pass in dry cleaning. However, it is necessary to take into account all the risks, since the thing may lose the brightness of the color.
- Hand wash cashmere products can only be in cold water up to 30 ° C and with a liquid detergent. As a liquid tool, you can consider a children's shampoo.
- Places with pollution is not a clutch and in no case are not compressed, but gently and smoothly stuff.
- After washing, the thing should be delicately rinse several times in cold water until the detergent can be cleaned.
- Without turning annealing, water from the folded thing is better to get into a hygroscopic towel.
- The cashmere thing for drying should be accurately strained on the horizontal surface away from the heating devices or sun rays.
Schedule cashmere at low temperature (no more than 120 ° C) from the reverse side, using wet marla.
At the end of the season, the thing from cashmere should be deposited. It is better not to hang it on her shoulders, but carefully without the chances to pack in a paper bag, putting a remedy for it from moths.
Reviews
Currently, things from one hundred percent cashmere, including because of the price, is a rare phenomenon. But modern technologies allow us to do various mixes from cashmere and other natural and synthetic materials. Clean yarn from the tibetan goat is added to costume, palp fabrics and slim knitwear, and then sew hauls, shawls, poncho, business men and women's costumes, coats, parks and cardigans.
After analyzing the reviews of people who acquired things from both pure cashmere and in the composition with other materials, we can say that in general they are satisfied. Things with proper operation are long, not deformed, and such an unpleasant phenomenon, like rollers, may appear on the third-fourth year socks. Negative moment, unfortunately, while only its high cost remains.
