ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

What makes Mongolian cashmere different?

Climate and goat genetics. Goats in the Mongolian steppe develop very fine undercoat fibers (about 14-16 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.

How can I tell if cashmere is high quality?

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.

How do I wash cashmere?

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.

Does cashmere pill?

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.

Is Quince cashmere ethical?

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.

Why is Quince cashmere priced lower than specialty brands?

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.
