To be sure that your cashmere items are the absolute finest, there can only be one source – Outer Mongolia and CocoonU in particular.

Why is our cashmere simply the finest?

Cashmere from CocoonU is the finest available from legal sources. The harsh winter climate of Outer Mongolia ensures that our fibres beat all others. It is most suitable for high grade knits because each downy strand is very thin and very long. The length directly affects the touch and feel of the cashmere. What gives our cashmere a soapier feel is known by an affect called coarseness. Coarseness in this regard is the friction that occurs when sections of cashmere hair is rubbed or touched by the skin.

Cashmere is a hair-like downy fiber and hair itself is made of platelets or scale like sections, much like stacking cups together.

In the case of the widely used but inferior Inner Mongolian (Chinese) cashmere, the diameter of each cup is very narrow, but the height of each cup is also very short. Hence you get a very thin stack or cups that is; for the sake of example about 40 mm tall. Here there are many individual cups or sections stacked together to make up this 40 mm strand; there are many gaps where the cups are joined.
These gaps are what affect the soft feeling because the more gaps you have, there are more contact points for friction to occur.

CocoonU Cashmere Collection

Now if you take our Outer Mongolian cashmere in comparison the cups are perhaps at times 1 micron thicker, but each cup is much taller. Therefore you get a stack that is a little thicker but 50 mm tall.

It takes fewer sections of cups and even fewer gaps to be 50 mm tall, which is the case for CocoonU cashmere. Because our stack of cups has fewer gaps or joints in the stack the friction ratio is very low. Adding to this is the quality of strength; our cashmere fibers are stronger which makes for even better yarn.

This is why super thin fiber does not necessary mean it makes for a better cashmere yarn.

Ours is simply the most suitable for strong, soft, and high grade cashmere. This has now been confirmed by a leading European fashion house who has confirmed that CocoonU cashmere surpassed their requirements for quality and price.

Our quality factors are:
• Most Favorable in Width per downy strand
• Extremely Long fiber
• Extremely Strong fiber
• ‘Soapier’ Feel

Ethical
In addition we are thought to be the only processor and manufacturer in Mongolia who personally know our suppliers. We are committed to ethical practices and work closely with our goat herders to optimize the benefits to them goat herders and their families. We are currently investigating having our cashmere FairTrade certified.
