Cashmere's Source and Velvet Fleece Tale
The article explains cashmere comes from a small semi wild goat spanning from the Caspian Sea to Western China. Each goat yields 2-4 ounces of softer underfleece than sheep wool and a sweater uses wool from six or more goats. The fiber is plucked by hand each spring, making cashmere expensive. It contrasts money with real kernels of life and ends with a reflective aphorism.
