| annotationText | Scotland-based uses both Italian and Scottish sustainable cashmere, with tis fibres taken from the Hircus Goat from the China and the Mongolian uplands. “It’s very difficult to look after the herd in very extreme climate conditions during the winter, and the labour intensive procedures required to obtain a very limited amount of fibre,” says Alessandra Marchini-Gunn, Glenevan Mill’s founder. “To make one of our medium sized jumpers, we require around 300 to 400 grams of yarn which equals to the yield of two to three goats.” Climate change is a big threat to the process, too, because as temperatures rise, the goats are unable to produce those thick coats that lead to the best cashmere. |
