  Cashmere is made from the fine hairs of the Himalayan mountain goat. Six times finer than human hair, this goat lives in a climate that can drop to -40 degrees. Cashmere shawls were a popular import in Europe in the 18th century. It takes one mountain goat one year to produce enough fleece to make one scarf. The warm knit would be a soft and luxurious baby gift.
