Notice how both tweets are framing this: Democrats are announcing they can and will shut down the government. But clearly, thatâs not a good message for Democrats who are hoping to blame the shutdown on Republicans. So if you actually click that link, Politicoâs story is headlined âShutdown looms as Republicans struggle for votes.â
Cashmere is a luxuriant wool that many a fashion-conscious woman has dreamed of wearing against her skin. Its silken feel, feather-light weight, and appreciable status make it highly desirable. Despite the glamour associated with cashmere, it hails from humble beginnings. It is the wool or fur of the Kashmir goat.
But it's important to be an informed buyer. First there is the question of fiber quality, which is measured in length and thickness. Fiber length ranges from 0.8 inch for cheap cashmere to up to 2.5 inches for the most luxurious. The diameter of the fiber must be less than 19 microns to be considered cashmere. In comparison, human hair has a diameter of 75 microns. Finer cashmere (often around 14 microns) is what's going into luxury garments. Thicker, shorter (scratchy) hair will be made into less expensive garments and is often used as part of a blend. These blends combine cashmere with wool, silk or synthetic fibers.
