From which specific type of animal is cashmere wool obtained?
Show answer
Cashmere Goat
Cashmere is not actually sheep's wool, but rather the soft, downy undercoat grown by goats to survive the harsh winters of the Himalayas. It takes the annual growth of at least three goats to produce enough fiber for just one single-ply sweater.
