Baby Cashmere – The Rarest, Finest Cashmere in the World Baby cashmere is one of the most luxurious and sought-after natural fibres in the textile world. It comes from the very first combing (or molt) of young cashmere goats (Capra hircus) — typically when they are under about one year old. At this young stage, the goats grow an exceptionally fine undercoat that protects them from harsh climates. This first growth of down is exceptionally soft, extremely fine, and incredibly rare, making it vastly more valuable than regular cashmere. What makes baby cashmere unique is the micron diameter of its fibres. While regular cashmere — already considered very soft — generally falls in the range of roughly 14.5–16.0 microns, baby cashmere fibres typically measure about 13.0–13.5 microns or even lower. A lower micron count means the fibres are thinner, smoother, and softer against the skin. This ultra-fine quality gives garments a cloud-like softness and unmatched light warmth. However, this soft...
