Cashmere goat The Angora breed of goats produces long, curling, lustrous locks of
mohair. The entire body of the goat is covered with mohair and there are no guard hairs. The locks constantly grow and can be four inches or more in length. Angora crossbreeds, such as the
pygora and the
nigora, have been created to produce
mohair and/or cashgora on a smaller, easier-to-manage animal. The wool is
shorn (cut from the body) twice a year, with an average yield of about 10 pounds. Most goats have softer insulating hairs nearer the skin, and longer
guard hairs on the surface. The desirable fiber for the
textile industry is the former, and it goes by several names (down, cashmere and pashmina). The coarse guard hairs are of little value as they are too coarse, difficult to spin and difficult to dye. The
cashmere goat produces a commercial quantity of
cashmere wool, which is one of the most expensive natural fibers commercially produced; cashmere is very fine and soft. The cashmere goat fiber is harvested once a year, yielding around 9
ounces (200
grammes) of down. In
South Asia, cashmere is called "
pashmina" (from
Persian pashmina, "fine wool"). In the 18th and early 19th century, Kashmir (then called Cashmere by the English), had a thriving industry producing shawls from goat down imported from Tibet and Tartary through Ladakh. The shawls were introduced into Western Europe when the General in Chief of the French campaign in Egypt (1799-1802) sent one to Paris. Since these shawls were produced in the upper
Kashmir and
Ladakh region, the wool came to be known as "cashmere".
