History of Cashmere
Cashmere has been a desirable fabric starting in Victorian England, where it was in demand by people by high society, and it is still an expensive purchase quite often. Sweaters, socks, suits, dresses, scarves and shawls are just some of the products produced by Cashmere.
Initially cashmere producing areas were in the Himalayas, then extending to China. China is still the largest producer of raw cashmere, estimated to 10,000 metric tons per year.
As Australia and the American Southwest was being settled by immigrants from Europe, they brought everything they could from their origin, which quite often included goats. They wanted to match the goats with goats already in American. They found the Spanish goat had similar fiber. They paired these goats, which often escaped and ran wild, particularly in rural Texas, however, the Spanish goats were capable of surviving the harsh climate. The initial product was called cashgora, which was a similar product but not quite as fine a quality cashmere. Ultimately, research used genetics, environment and better nutrition to produce a better quality cashmere. Commercial cashmere is now produced by goats located in Colorado, New Hampshire and Washington state. Research continues to improve the quality of cashmere in America. Spring moulting season is when the goats naturally shed their winter coat.

Great information about cashmere and where the majority of the goats are located in the U.S. for the commercial production of this product as well as the other countries who produce it on a large scale. Wish I could wear it...it makes me itch. I love the feel of it! My husband has some great cashmere sweaters. Up and interesting votes.
Peggy, It is a shame you can't wear cashmere but allergies do rule some things in life. I appreciate your comments.
Pamela - I love scarves - not simply for the look and the protection from the bitter cold here at times, but I also use mine in times of feeling that old thing come upon me....open mouth, insert foot. I routinely use my scarf to stuff it in my mouth to keep from saying something idiotic...and if I forget, I always have Bob who will suggest it at the snap of 2 fingers~~
Seriously - very informative and interesting. Love the different options!
Audry, I love your comment and appreciate your humor.

Pamela That is very cool, I love getting my haircut also. Have you ask you stylest any questions about getting a flattop. I hope to see the new picture soon, I love all of the flattops on kellymoms Hub didn't you. Thanks
susan, I did mention it to her and she said she hadn't had any requests for a flattop but I've been told I should go to a barber to get a good cut. I think Kellymoms cut is cute.
Pamela, Hi it's Lydie Did, she tell you to try a flattop.
That is true, I go to a barbershop for my flattop.I called a few before I found one. You may want to call a few first if you decide to get a flattop, some don't like to cut womens hair, If they say come on in, then go and have fun with it. I just got mine trimmed today while I was out shopping for gifts for the grandkids. Thanks my friend
LydieRVgirl, I appreciate the advice I really do think you look terrific with a flattop.

Movie Master, It is the perfect gift for many women. I know it would be for me. Thanks for your comments.
Hi Pamela
I love silk scarves and regularly wear them to work. They have the ability to lift an outfit and by just changing your scarf and accessories the whole thing looks totally different.
Amber:)
Amber, I like to do that also. Thank you for your comment.
Thanks for a nice overview of sweaters, Pamela. I love the look, but can't seem to be comfortable wearing them. Maybe I need a cashmere one...under the tree! :)
akirchner has some very good ideas on why to wear them... :)
RTalloni, I think you would enjoy the soft feel of a cashmere sweater from under the tree. Thanks for your comments. Happy Thanksgiving.
I have been looking at red scarves in particular, since I lost mine last year. Thanks for sharing this information Pamela. I think these things make such wonderful gifts also.
oceansunsets, I think they are great gifts also and I would love to receive one! Thanks for your comments.
