Sheep wool life revolution: 0 damage washing and care science manual

I. The Essence of Cashmere: Why is it Pricier than Gold?
• Scarce Production: A cashmere goat yields only 200-400g of dehaired fiber annually. A pure cashmere sweater requires the annual yield of 2 goats.
• Fiber Traits: Average fineness of 14-16μm (just 1/5 of human hair), with thin, smooth scales creating a "silky-soft feel" and "temperature-locking layer."

II. Five-Step Anti-Scam Guide

1. Decoding Label Clues
   • Content Standards: Only ≥30% cashmere qualifies as a "cashmere sweater"; ≥95% with ≤5% suspected wool can be labeled "100% cashmere."
   • Safety Class: Choose Class B (skin contact) for adults, Class A for infants.

2. Touch Test: The Boundary Between Real and Fake
   • Real Cashmere: Bounces back like glutinous rice, smooth and itch-free, no static after rubbing.
   • Fake Cashmere: Synthetic imitations feel greasy (due to softeners); wool products feel coarse with a medullated texture.

3. Smell Check: Chemical Alerts
   Residual machine oil odor → Excessive processing agents (dichloromethane-soluble substances超标), harmful with prolonged exposure.

4. Light Test: Density Reveals Quality
   High-quality cashmere: Even haze-like texture under light, uniform stitch density. Low-quality: Patchy, uneven gaps.

5. Price Threshold: Cost Dictates Authenticity
   Fair price for pure cashmere ≥¥800; below ¥300 likely wool blends or synthetic imitations.

III. Lab-Level Verification Tips
• Burn Test: Real cashmere leaves brittle black ash (protein fiber); synthetics form hard lumps with plastic smell.
• Microscopy: Cashmere scales cling tightly; wool scales protrude in rings.

Industry Warning: Beware of "sheep cashmere" wordplay—it’s fine wool, not true cashmere.
