It is rare in production and very expensive in price. It has always been called "soft gold". From large shopping malls to roadside shops, there are also custom-made clothing, how to identify the cashmere sweater true or false? How to wash to stay soft? What's the point of preservation after winter? Let's study the cashmere sweater together!

Learn six ways to tell the truth from the truth

First of all, acrylic and cashmere are very different, careful observation can detect the difference. For example, acrylic is lighter than cashmere, it is not as slippery as cashmere, and it is not as soft as cashmere after coloring. And acrylic burning black smoke, there is a special smell, after burning ash twist into a ball. When cashmere burns, it not only gives off the smell of burnt protein and flint, but also burns slowly. After burning, the ash becomes powdery and breaks when touched. Wool and cashmere are difficult to distinguish. Wool burns with a burnt smell of protein and flint, but the fiber ash shrinks into a ball as the chemical fiber burns.

By "burning" this way to identify, a little unrealistic. Experts suggest that you can also identify the true or false cashmere sweater through 5 methods, namely: touch, grab, put, according to, Dianping.

Touch: Cashmere sweater surface 60-70 mm, the wool is thinner than ordinary wool, the average fineness between 14-16um, so it feels a kind of silky feeling, quite comfortable. But there are some cashmere sweaters in the shopping mall, which are very slippery to the touch. After touching, you can rub your fingers and feel slippery. That is the talcum powder sprinkled on the clothes.

Grab: The wool is medullated and solid, while the wool of a cashmere sweater is unmedullated and hollow, and therefore fairly elastic. With the hand to grasp a handful, there is a kind of glutinous rice elastic feeling.

Release: Grab a handful of cashmere in your hand and then release it. Since it is animal protein, it will immediately return to level shape and is difficult to wrinkle.

Shine: Take the cashmere sweater, shine it against the light, see the density of the cashmere sweater, the grain is clear and neat, not easy to reveal the light. Loose density is disorderly, easy to light. A good cashmere sweater not only requires good cashmere purity, but also requires a certain amount. This is an important indicator of cashmere sweaters.

Tip: Weigh the cashmere sweater, too light dosage may be discounted, manufacturing density is not enough. Heavy ones may be mixed with wool.

Washing and preservation of all kinds of "pay attention to"

When buying real cashmere sweaters, washing and preservation are also very important.

CASHMERE is called cashmere. Today, the international word CASHMERE means cashmere. Many people think of cashmere as fine wool, the hair cut off by sheep or goats. No, cashmere is different from wool. Wool grows on sheep, while cashmere grows on goats. Only goats in the high and cold regions of the plateau grow a thin layer of fine wool on their skin to keep warm before winter comes, so as to resist the harsh winter. In spring, this thin layer of velvet falls off automatically, and the herdsmen grab it with an iron comb to become the original velvet. Goat's cashmere contains various impurities and coarse hair, which needs special cleaning, sorting and combing to get pure cashmere raw materials. After spinning, spinning and finishing, it is made into the favorite of today's human clothing -- cashmere sweater. Due to the rare production and excellent quality, the price is considered as "fiber gem", "fiber queen", "soft gold".

The fiber of cashmere is much finer than wool, and the outer scales are also finer and smoother than wool, so it is light in weight, soft and strong in toughness. Especially suitable for making underwear, close-fitting wear, light, soft, soft, smooth, very comfortable, is any fiber incomparable.
