Crazy about Cashmere

Namely Newborns has a crush on cashmere. There are zillions of fabrics in the world; but nothing says luxury like cashmere. Moms love it; Dads loves and even little kids love it. And the reason they love it- is simple. It feels good.

This is not a new love affair; people have been in love with cashmere for centuries.For thousands of years this has been the most sought after wool. This luxurious fiber is obtained from Cashmere goats; the word comes from the old spelling of Kashmir. The fiber has been prized for its fine textured, strong, light and provides incredible insulation against all of the natural elements including rain, sleet, snow and sun. This natural wool fiber is obtained from the neck region of the Cashmere goat and other goats. These goats produce a double fleece that consists of a fine, soft undercoat or under down of hair mingled with a straighter and much coarser outer coating of hair called guard hair. For the fine under down to be sold and processed further, it must be de-haired. De-hairing is a mechanical process that separates the coarse hairs from the fine hair. After de-hairing, the resulting "cashmere" is ready to be dyed and converted into textile yarn, fabrics and then woven into today's most luxurious products.

A personalized cashmere blanket for baby is the ultimate luxury gift. For this classic blanket; most people love pink for girls, blue for boys and cream for gender neutral. Cream is always gorgeous with personalization in blue or pink to make it more feminine or masculine.

Dads are the hardest people to buy gifts for . But if you choose a cashmere crew neck sweater , you can never go wrong because it never goes out of style and can be worn every where. It is really a refined sweatshirt; something to be worn and enjoyed everyday. It functions well over an Oxford shirt, under a suit or jean jacket and even instead of a t-shirt with nothing under neath. Because they are so light weight ; they can be layered for extra warmth without creating a bulky look. Sweaters are now gently priced options that allow a man to assemble a whole wardrobe of cashmere in a variety of colors. 

Moms love gifts so it is not hard to buy her a present. But unlike Dads who don't care exactly how the sweater fits as long as it is comfortable; mom will only be happy with something that she thinks look great on her and that can be tricky. For women, fit is the highest priority.She wants to look good; so not only do you need to buy something beautiful, but something that flatters her figure.  Mens sweaters come in small, medium and large and most men don't care if it is a bit baggy or doesn't hug the shoulders just right.
