Our 100% Pure Mongolian Cashmere Italian Bed Blankets top our list in Customer-Ranked polls and reviews, simply the most supreme blanket you’ll find! Its fabulous good looks definitely don't hurt its fantastic reputation, but even the most stunning looks pale in comparison to this buttery-soft feel that is unlike any we've found available to the U.S. Our customers agree, they've never felt anything like it. This could just be the next best thing closest to your skin. The feel is superbly sumptuous, unlike anything you've felt, making this bed blanket the most perfect thing that could ever come next to your skin. The smoothest drape, ultra-soft hand, with the world's silkiest fibers for incredible warmth. The surface possesses a stunning light sheen, paralleling that of the world's finest garments. Consider and experience this tidbit, and you'll never purchase your fine linens elsewhere: our unequaled 12-micron fiber diameter will make this deliciously soft and lofty partner the love of your life. In the world of microns, less truly is more, and this ultra-smooth beauty will capture your heart and soul.

 

And while other manufacturers use short, sheared 0.5" fibers, you'll find only the world's finest 2.0" pre-weave fibers used in our specialty blankets, for the silkiest feel on Earth. We've all heard the term 'Mongolian' used to describe what are supposed to be the finest type of Cashmere fibers in the world, but did you know fiber length, roaming height, and harvesting process can severely affect integrity, feel, warmth and durability of the final product? If you've been noticing that the 'Cashmere' products you've felt recently can vary widely in texture, feel, silkiness and thickness, here’s why: Mongolian Cashmere is indeed considered the world's finest grade of Cashmere, but that's only the beginning. Crucial factors such roaming height, harvesting, fiber length and weave help define the quality of the product you receive. Before the fiber is ever removed from these rare herds, you may wonder just how important of a factor roaming truly is. Herd roaming height is key, with the majority of this fine species remaining near an 8,000 foot level. Kashmir goats depend on the fibers surrounding their neckline for survival. The higher they roam, the denser those fibers must be in order to properly maintain the animal's warmth level for survival.

 

With roaming ranges of approximately 15,000 feet, that’s nearly double the standard. "Is there a difference," you may ask. It's the difference of being out in harsh elements in a windbreaker versus a down-filled parka. Thicker fibers for the goat mean thicker fibers for you. And so we move down the mountain with the herds. When our herds return for only a few short weeks each year, as the weather warms, the harvesting and fiber collection begins. Unlike collection of pelts or fibers such as pashminas, no herds are harmed in in our fiber collection. Carefully hand-combed throughout the densest neck region, lthe longest and silkiest 2.0" Cashmere fibers are gently removed through the use of a long, metal combing tool created specifically for this process. While fibers often found in garments or Bedding are standardly sheared, only hand-combing is utilized for harvesting, to carefully collect the precious batches of finest Cashmere.

 

Does shearing make a difference? You bet. While hand-combing is a rare, skilled and time-consuming process, it's the only process used in creation of our Specialty Cashmere items. Why? Because the common technique of shearing actually breaks the fiber, not only affecting length, but in turn drastically affecting silkiness, warmth levels and durability. Shearing processes with shorter fibers drastically reduce warmth, weight and feel, not to mention aiding in the cause of pilling or surface balling. Our supremely smooth surface won't pill, and you won't be fighting with loosely bound edges or poorly finished hems. In fact, our virtually seamless bound edging is like none you'll find. Where others simply bind using inexpensive satin, poly or cotton poly blends, you'll find only the finest three-inch Pure Egyptian Cotton jacquard surrounding every edge of our Specialty Cashmere blankets. Tug or pull all you want, because your blanket will still appear brand-new. All the while, you'll feel only the most superb, long-fiber, tight-woven Egyptian Cotton binding that is soft yet durable to the touch while naturally breathable, to quickly wick away potential moisture. We've also added an additional 10" to the size of a traditional King Blanket, for for a Luxury King 110" x 90" for some of the most supreme coverage available. Need larger? Our Supersize King Bed Blanket offers the largest sizing you’ll find to the U.S. in 120"x90" You and your partner can experience the ultimate night's rest, without a tug-of-war to gain your fair share of warmth.

 

Did you think we'd forgotten about the weave? One of the most important factors you'll find. We all know Italy is home to some of the world's absolute finest bed linens in existence. What you may not know is that 'Made in Italy' can refer simply to construction. From receipt of fiber collection, to inspection processes, to actual Italian weave, to construction and binding: every step of these processes takes place in Italy, a true rarity. Our triple-inspection process of hand-combed fibers is like no other, and so is our product. Want the best night's sleep you've ever experienced? Experience our Specialty Cashmere, and you'll wonder how you didn't find us sooner.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE CASHMERE.

We know, Cashmere's not one of those fibers you'd probably think of as "average." But with the recent interest in this Noble fiber and its increasing popularity, manufacturers are offering cheap and inferior products in cost-cutting efforts we refuse to take. Utilization of low-grade, short and inferior fibers, or mixtures with coarser, inferior types such as Yak, Camel or Alpaca which highly contaminate Cashmere fibers. In fact, many manufacturers intentionally add these fibers to Cashmere as filler, portraying the addition as good rather than truthful: Yak, Camel or Alpaca inclusion greatly reduce Cashmere fabric quality. In fact, such additions result in extreme coarseness, much-reduced luster and sheen, poor durability and stiff drape. Our Cashmere items have no reason to cross the path of Yak, Camel or Alpaca fibers, so you'll find no chance of cross-contamination. In fact, we've taken it 3 steps further. First, our Cashmere is meticulously hand-combed and collected in extremely small batches, rather than mechanically shorn. Second, the fine, valuable batches are carefully hand-sifted for feel then additionally visually checked, for elimination of any possibility of coarser guard or outer hair inclusion. Third, each and every batch is closely scrutinized in a detailed analysis of the fibers, checking for any fiber longer than those comprising the goat's finest downy underside, before weaving is to begin. Start to finish, only the finest materials and techniques are utilized, for the most superior product you'll find. Exquisite detail in every aspect, from the finest fabric and most stunning array of rare colors, to the most superior border and stitch. Pure 100% Egyptian Cotton woven finished borders adorn each edge. Silky soft to the touch, yet designed to withstand years of tugs, pulls and use-all while sustaining its intricate yet supple weave.
