Cashmere is one of the softest and most luxurious forms of wool, characterized by the fineness of the fibers, which are almost silky. It’s considered one of the most high-end fibers, as pure cashmere can be very expensive due to the involved production process, where the fibers are separated by hand from the molted coats of goats.

Cashmere is a type of wool that is made from cashmere goats and pashmina goats.
Cashmere is a natural fiber known for its extremely soft feel and insulating properties. Cashmere fibers are very fine and delicate, and almost feel like silk to the touch. Cashmere is significantly warmer and lighter than sheep’s wool, and is somewhat similar to mohair, which is made from angora goats. Cashmere is often blended with other types of wool, like merino, to give it added weight, since cashmere fibers are very fine and thin.

Virgin wool is the wool taken from a lamb's first shearing. This is the softest and finest wool produced. There is another meaning of virgin wool - it can refer to wool that has never been used, processed, or woven before. This type of virgin wool can come from an adult sheep.
It’s better than recycled wool because it’s stronger and higher quality. Pure virgin wool is naturally breathable in both cold and warm weather, water-repellent, durable and insulating. It also resists wrinkles, stains, and odors. Even though you can dry-clean wool shirts, many people simply hang them up and let them air out, finding that to be just as effective.

Since virgin wool fibers haven’t been shredded like recycled wool, they’re more resilient—they don’t break or wrinkle as easily and can provide more stretch.

Viscose is derived from the ‘cellulose’ or wood pulp from fast-growing, regenerative trees such as eucalyptus, beech, and pine, as well as plants such as bamboo, soy, and sugar cane.
Viscose, Modal, Lyocell, and Tencel are all different types of rayons. Even though the fibers are manufactured rather than ‘natural’, all types of Rayon are comfortable and breathable to wear.
Rayons resist odor retention longer than cotton does. Meaning more wear before washing and less washing is always an eco bonus!
Viscose is versatile, breathable, drapes beautifully, and is very smooth Many pros, uh? :)

Use of recycled fabrics have significant importance as it provides both environmental and economic benefits.

Choosing long-lasting, readily recyclable woollen garments over other options can reduce the quantity of textiles that ends up in landfill.
Recycled polyamide is obtained by melting down existing plastic and re-spinning it into new fiber. By choosing recycled polyamides fabrics, the same technical performance is achieved as other similar fibers but leaving a lower environmental footprint.
