For some it is the animal and its utility -- its uniquely versatile characteristics of rugged individuality, wide-ranging usefulness and oft time precocious personality. For others it is the cashmere fiber with it's ability to create warmth without weight, the design opportunities in it's drape, and the incredible sensuous experience of softness evoking luxury.

Cashmere America Cooperative is owned and operated by those in America raising cashmere producing goats. It is and organization set up for the purpose of processing and marketing American cashmere. Started in 1991 by a small group of dedicated farmers and ranchers in Colorado and Texas, the Co-op has grown to include farms in Maine and Washington State and from New Mexico to Canada. Why do people raise cashmere goats in America? The reason are as varied as the people involved. Cashmere goats have found their niche in America, from pasture management and weed control to providers of meat in specialty markets, to 4H youth projects, and especially as a source of one of the most luxurious fibers in the world.

As an organization, Cashmere America Co-op recognizes that consistence in quality makes for a premium finished product. That is just one of the reasons dedicated growers all across America joined together in the Co-op to establish high and consistent grading standards for their fiber. We hope you will notice our care in the garments you make from our yarns.
