Why New Zealand cashmere? our supplier chooses New Zealand’s cashmere because of the thick, luxurious fibers that the cashmere goats produce in that country. The goats are allowed to feed freely from the rich fertile Eco-friendly land of New Zealand. As with humans, the goat's diet reflects the health & quality of their hair. The goats' superior diet enables New Zealand to produce about 150 tons of cashmere from just over 300,000 goats. By
contrast, the average Mongolian goat produces 75 to 100 grams of usable fiber per year. Why $45 - $60 for a pair of socks? our supplier uses 4-ply yarn to knit our socks for thickness & comfort. Ordinarily, the dress socks you see in your local luxury stores are 1-ply or 2-ply. We believe that if you are buying cashmere for warmth as well for the soft texture, then you should take full advantage of everything that cashmere has to offer & let them be thick!
A pair of our socks contains 200 grams of cashmere. It takes one goat over a year to produce enough of the high quality fiber shorn from the throat & belly that we use in one pair of socks. |
