Delicate colors unique to cashmere
Colors created by the reflection of light from the delicate fibers

Everyone says, "Cashmere is such a delicate color! Everyone says, "Cashmere is such a delicate color!
It is said that people distinguish colors and shadows by the reflection of light. If an object is flat or large, light is reflected largely and looks simple, but the finer the light reflecting surface, the more delicate the reflection. Cashmere is the finest of all wool fibers, so the delicate reflection of light produces a unique color. The fineness of the cashmere fiber has a great influence on the delicate and subtle coloring of cashmere.

 

Subtle texture differs depending on the color. 
Subtle texture

The color of cashmere goats varies from one individual to another, with white, gray, brown, and other colors of cashmere available. Sometimes these wools are used in their raw form, but most of the time they are dyed in some color.
It would be convenient if the color could be removed like wool, but cashmere wool is too delicate to be dyed without removing the color, which would damage it and degrade its texture. Only white cashmere hair can be used for light colors such as white, sax and pink.

Cashmere is also very delicate, so there are subtle differences in texture depending on the color. Most people don't even notice it, but darker colors with a lower lightness feel slightly tougher than lighter colors with a shorter dyeing time.
The darker colors are dyed from brown or gray raw wool, and the longer the darker colors are boiled, the more subtle the difference in softness between black, navy blue, and other low-lightness colors compared to light colors. The higher the color fastness is to prevent color fading, the more the texture will deteriorate.
In order to dye fabrics in such a way that the texture does not fade, Japanese spinning companies have developed special methods, such as dyeing at low temperatures, ahead of the rest of the world. Even with such advanced technology, there are still subtle differences in color. Our dyeing masters with the best techniques are working hard every day to keep this in mind.
It can be said that even products made of the exact same cashmere material can have subtle differences in texture due to differences in color, which is only possible with delicate cashmere.
