First of all, there is no strict A, B, and C division for the quality of cashmere. The reason for the formation of ABC is actually the division made by our industry personnel in order to make it easier for customers to compare, and the country does not have a certain standard to divide. Let me tell you about it separately.

1.Classification

So far, our classification has mainly focused on length and fineness: the comprehensive consideration of length and fineness. Because the non-plush transaction price of cashmere is priced according to the combination of length and fineness. Generally speaking, Class A: fineness within 15.8μm and length above 34mm. Class B: fineness between 15.8μm and 16.8μm, length above 34mm. Class C: If it is greater than 16.8 μm, there is no limit to the length.

2.Region

First of all, the above-mentioned Class C cashmere mainly comes from our neighboring country - Mongolia, as well as the northeast of China and the eastern part of Inner Mongolia. They have a large amount of cashmere into the Chinese market every year, although the fineness of these cashmere is a bit coarse, but the price of raw materials is relatively cheaper, and it is okay to do some FMCG. These products occupy 60% of the market share in China! Therefore, major brand yarn companies will have the launch of such products, which we should pay attention to. Category B: This kind is mainly found in the central part of China, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Ningxia and parts of Gansu. Class B is currently the first choice for domestic and international brand companies, because the overall price is in the middle, the output is relatively large, the main concern is that the water in this product is very deep, and it is also a category with the most problematic quality, therefore, many brand companies have been injured in this category, Class A is the most typical Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia Alxa and Tibet Ali. These products are relatively rare on the market, although the quality is very good, but the price is indeed not low, which is also prohibitive for many consumers.

3.Hand feel

A>B>C This is for sure, the finer the cashmere, the softer the feel, and the stronger the close-fitting feeling, so we must be right to choose the fineness of cashmere!
