Cashmere is one of the most luxurious fabrics in the world. But do you know how it’s made? This is a photo of the type of goat that produces the super-soft fibers that create luxurious clothing so many people spend hundreds of dollars to own. Cashmere goats produce a winter undercoat that is used to create this fine yarn. 

The fine undercoat can only be collected a few times a year, making it very rare and expensive. There are various types of cashmere goats, from Pashmina goats in China to Australian cashmere goats.
