Elizabeth Actually, there is (supposedly) a breed of sheep called cashmere. I can't find it on the web, but I have seen fleeces and wool labeled as sheep's cashmere. Cheryl |

According to the FTC, cashmere comes from only one source: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/...s/cashmere.htm So far as I can tell, the only people using the term "sheep cashmere" are merchants in China. They are referring to a fiber made from the hairs of the belly of certain sheep and claiming that it is as good as, but cheaper than the fibers from the belly of Kashmir goats. But the very fact that it must be called sheep cashmere should tell you that it's not cashmere.

But it completely true that only goats give cashmere. Cheryl |
