CASHMERE FACTFILE CASHMERE is the fine underwool found beneath the rough external coat of Kashmir goats which live on the mountains in the Chinese province of Inner Mongolia.
They grew to about the size of present-day Asiatic elephants, boasted warm coats made of long, brown guard hairs and soft underwool and had large, curved ivory tusks.
Fortunately for the animals their thick fur and underwool, used to keep warm during cold desert nights, came in handy on a windswept Irish morning.
