Question 1

1. What makes Mongolian cashmere different?

Accepted Answer

Climate and goat genetics. Goats in the Mongolian steppe develop very fine undercoat fibers (15.8-16.2 microns) to survive winter cold. That ultra-fine fiber is the source of cashmere's softness — and Mongolian cashmere is consistently among the finest available.

Question 2

2. How can I tell if cashmere is high quality?

Accepted Answer

Three checks. First, hand feel — should be silky, not scratchy. Second, ply — single-ply for delicate pieces, two-ply for everyday sweaters that need to hold shape. Third, pilling resistance — top-quality cashmere pills less in normal wear.

Question 3

3. How do I wash cashmere?

Accepted Answer

Hand wash in cool water with mild wool detergent. Don't rub or wring — gently squeeze water through, then roll in a towel to remove excess water. Lay flat to dry, never hang. Dry-cleaning works but is harder on the fibers long-term.

Question 4

4. Does cashmere pill?

Accepted Answer

All cashmere pills slightly during the first few wears. The pills come from short fibers in the yarn surfacing during friction. Use a cashmere comb (or a sweater shaver for established pieces) to remove pills and reveal the smoother surface beneath.

Question 5

5. Is Quince cashmere ethical?

Accepted Answer

We source directly from Mongolian herder cooperatives that combine modern goat-welfare practices with traditional fiber harvesting. Direct sourcing supports the herders rather than middlemen, and the goats are combed (not sheared) during their natural shedding season.

Question 6

6. Why is Quince cashmere priced lower than specialty brands?

Accepted Answer

Same direct sourcing model — we buy cashmere yarn directly from Mongolian producers, finish in partner facilities, and sell direct without the wholesale + retail markups. Same fiber and finishing as specialty brands; meaningfully lower price.
