Choose to identify cashmere thread as follows;

1. Characteristics of cashmere thread. Take a thread and gently and effortlessly pull off sections of wool. If there is no stretch, it means it is cashmere.

2. Characteristics of wool thread. If the yarn is tight and requires effort when pulling it off, it is usually made of wool.

3. Characteristics of blended chemical fiber threads. If it has stretchability, it must be chemical fiber.

4. Pulling off the cashmere thread or wool thread is very crisp, just like pulling out a cotton ball. If it is stretchable, it will feel like a slight elasticity. When pulling, the fingers holding the thread will feel a little painful, and there may even be a temporary mark of the thread.

5. Use a lighter to burn wool vertically from the bottom. Blended fabrics, wool, cashmere, etc. all have the smell of burning protein; the key is that after igniting, leave the fire source and it will be extinguished quickly. At the same time, when you squeeze it with your hands, the remaining product turns into powder without other impurities, indicating that it is pure wool; but after igniting it and leaving the fire source, the flames still burn along the wool, as much as possible, until all the wool is burned. It's all pure cashmere.
