wool

Generally speaking, the wool that grows on the surface of sheep and goats can be called wool, but it is customary to call the wool fiber that is produced by sheep and has a certain textile value and is mostly used.

The wool is clustered tightly together, unevenly covering the surface of the sheep's skin. The appearance of the wool fiber is a slender cylinder. In its cross-sectional shape, the fine wool is close to a circle, the thick wool is an oblate, and there are many scales on the longitudinal surface.

Cashmere

Cashmere is a thin layer of fine velvet that grows on the outer skin of goats and covers the roots of coarse hairs. The hair shaft of cashmere fiber is uniform, and its cross-section is mostly regular and round, without a cavity, and the longitudinal surface is covered with thin ring-shaped scales covering the hair shaft. The scales are longer, the angle of warping is small, and the surface is relatively small. Smooth ironing. Goats are depilated in spring, and the wool that is grabbed from the goat's body with a special iron comb is the original wool. The washed raw cashmere is combed to remove the coarse hair, dead hair, and dander. The cashmere obtained is called hairless cashmere.
