The Silk Road Cashmere Throw

This is the throw made from the luxuriously soft fibers of Cashmere goats that roam near the ancient Silk Road of Inner Mongolia. Hand-combed from the animals' fine, downy underfleece, the fibers are of the highest quality, averaging over 34mm in length and 16.8 microns in diameter. Spun into a 2-ply, 25-weight yarn, and knitted with a high napability and loft, the fibers retain the softness and heat storing properties that allowed their original bearers - the Alashanzuoqi white cashmere goat - to endure the harsh, high-altitude winters of Inner Mongolia's Alashan plateau. With a decorative 3 1/2"-long fringe that imparts subtle panache without restricting movement or snagging in zippers, the throw is an ideal companion for a cold night's stroll, chilly theater, or an evening's shopping. Red. 68" L x 48" W. (8 oz.)
