  • Safeguards 09508 Quantitative Analysis of Animal Fibres.Pub
    SAFEGUARDS SGS CONSUMER TESTING SERVICES SOFTLINES NO. 095/08 NOVEMBER 2008 TESTING STANDARDS FOR QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF ANIMAL FIBRES BY MICROSCOPY - CASHMERE, WOOL, SPECIALITY FIBRES AND THEIR BLENDS Natural fibres are used extensively in today’s textile market in the return fashion on demanding natural and comfort feelings and environmental awareness. Cashmere named as “soft gold” due to its softness and rarity. It was only available to imperial families in the past, although Cashmere has become more affordable nowadays. Substitution of Cashmere with wool or other animal fibres can lead to big rewards due to the huge price difference between fibres. However, mislabeling of textile products can cause huge loss with fine and product recall, or even worse, to lose the reputation in the market. In January 2007, a law has been made in United States with stricter measurement in Cashmere labeling to protect buyers and consumer’s benefit and it is becoming the trend of luxury fibre protection globally. The Cashmere and Camel Hair Manufacturers Institute (CCMI) has also their definition for Cashmere. Therefore, understanding the fibre identification and testing procedures and ensuring your products labelled correctly will help you prevent unnecessary loss. SOFTLINES NO. 095/08 NOVEMBER 2008 P.2 Currently, there are some testing methods to be used for quantitative analysis of animal fibres by microscopy - Cashmere, wool, specialty fibres and their blends. • AATCC 20A-- Fibre Analysis: Quantitative, section 14— microscopical analysis procedures, • ISO 17751 – Quantitative analysis of animal fibres by microscopy - Cashmere, wool, speciality fibres and their blends (including Light Microscope & Scanning Electron Microscope method), The Cashmere and Camel Hair Manufacturers Institute defines cashmere as: • IWTO-58 – Scanning Electron Microscopic analysis of • The fine (dehaired) undercoat fibers produced by a Cashmere goat (Capra hircus speciality fibres and sheep’s laniger).

Animal & Poultry Production Division, Desert Research Center, Egypt. [email protected] Abstract: Three hundred kg of raw camel-hair fibers (Magrabi camels) were collected during shearing season from Camel Research Station located in Matroh Governorate. The amount of camel-hair was subjectively classified into four categories control (C1, has no classification), coarse brown fibers (C2), coarser with white fibers liken to wool kemp fiber (C3) and fine fibers (C4). Results indicate that fine camel hair contains higher amount of B, Cd, Co, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni and S compared with coarse fibers, while coarse fibers had higher Mo, Pb and Zn than fine fibers. Coarse fibers had the highest values of amino acids (THR, SER, GLU, GLY, ALA, VAL, MET, ILE, LEU, TYR, PHE, HIS, LYS, ARG and PRO). Sulfur content of camel hair takes an opposite trend of both MET and CYS with FD, SDFD, B-force, CV of B-force, CV of tenacity, yarn metric count, Twists/meter, twist multipliers and abrasion. Copper, which involved in forming pigments found to be higher in brown coarse categories C1 and C2. Hair bundle elongation reached the maximum in C4 (34.4%), while the lowest percentage found in C3 (4.6%). Category (4) had higher twist multipliers 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 times those of C3, C2 and C1, respectively. Fine fibers selecting subjectively from the camel-hair fleeces had a good quality as raw material and yarn.

Visitors from the US, whose economy has been showing signs of recovery, accounted for 5% and there was a surge in Asian visitors, mostly from Japan, South Korea and China. With buyers showing such interest, exhibitors were cautiously optimistic.

Only wholesale & bulk querries can be entertained with the most competitive rates. Story of Pashmina- “The Diamond fabric” Pashmina, prized by kings and nobles and the pride of bride’s trousseau in the past is often referred to as the “king” of all fibres. Perhaps nothing epitomizes the glorious history of Himalayan craftsmanship, as warmly and beautifully, as does the Pashmina, the Indian name for Cashmere, the softest and most luxurious wool in the world. The word Cashmere is derived from Kashmir part of India where Pashmina wool was first used and converted into fabric. When it comes to talking of luxury apparels, very few things can match the lush opulence and splendid lineament of handspun pure pashmina shawls, made from the finest cashmere wool. Also popular as the ‘diamond fabric’ and the ‘soft gold of high Asia’, pashmina shawls are much feted for their finest, softest and warmest fabric. What is pashmina? The term "pashmina" refers to the textile made from the finest and highest grade of cashmere wool harvested from the belly of the pashmina goat. A warm and soft natural fiber, pashmina creates women's garments such as shawls, which are called pashminas.

  • Some Cashmere Characteristics of Hair Goats Raised in Van Province
    Austral J Vet Sci 50, 125-128 (2018) ORIGINAL ARTICLE Some cashmere characteristics of hair goats raised in Van province Selçuk S. Tuncer* ABSTRACT. The aim of this study was to uncover certain physical properties of cashmere fibres obtained from goat hair in Van, Turkey, and determine their usability in the textile sector. For this purpose 36 hair goats were studied, aged between two and three years old, obtained from breeders at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University Livestock Facilities and the Özalp and Başkale districts of Van, with twelve goats being taken from each breeder. The sample of hairs were collected by combing three areas of the goat’s body (shoulder, flank and rump). The analysis indicated that the cashmere length of two-year-old hair goats was longer than that of three-year-old hair goats. There was no linear relationship between the differences among cashmere elasticity and yield properties and the altitude levels of the districts. It was determined that the fibre diameter of the cashmere of hair goats in Van was acceptable for the textile sector and competitive with major cashmere-producing countries. Key words: cashmere features, hair goat, Van province. INTRODUCTION and Stephenson 1968).
