Cashgora (19μm)

from $39.99

Cashgora goats are the descendants of downy (cashmere-producing) goats that were bred to Angora (mohair-producing) goats in the former Soviet nations of Central Asia. This dual lineage produced a hybrid fiber with characteristics of both cashmere and mohair. Cashgora goats inherited some of the softness of cashmere, but kept the long staple and the luster that makes mohair such a charm to work with. Indeed, cashgora fiber is probably best described as somewhere between “super-soft kid mohair” and “high-luster cashmere.” The long staple makes cashgora easier to spin than cashmere and it requires less twist to hold together, so it can be made into very soft and fluffy yarns. It will also take dye beautifully. Our Cashgora is a bright white combed top with a good 3”-4” staple length, and it is ideal for making against-the-skin soft hats, gloves, scarves, and blankets.
