Cashmere weaving - Cashmere weaving

Japanese: カシミア織 - カシミアおり

A woolen fabric made from the hair of the cashmere goat. It is often blended with sheep's wool because of its scarce production and high cost. It is light, soft, and has excellent heat retention. Cashmere shawls made in the Kashmir region of India are famous for their paisley pattern. It is suitable for scarves, blankets, and clothing fabrics. Merino wool worsted fabrics that imitate cashmere are also called cashmere weaves, and usually have a gentle diagonal pattern on the front and a plain weave on the back.

カシミアヤギの毛でつくられた毛織物。産額が少なく高価なため，羊毛と混紡することが多い。軽く柔らかく保温性に富む。インドのカシミール地方でつくられたカシミア・ショールはペーズリーの模様で有名。マフラー，毛布，洋服地に適する。これを模したメリノ羊毛の梳毛(そもう)織物もカシミア織と称し，ふつう表面はゆるい斜文で裏面は平織状になっている。
