The world production of the so-called Soft Gold represents approximately 0.5% of the total production of wool. It is an exceptional fabric, scarce and difficult to find. Harvesting is made up of two phases: a first cut of the thickest layer in spring and a manual brushing of the fleece during moulting, when a fine wool called duvet is achieved. Then the hairs are selected, cleaned and woven into threads. About one hundred grams of cashmere can be obtained from each animal per year, with which a minimum of two goats are needed to obtain a fine sweater, and up to six for thicker fabric garments.
