A separate story at Politico says he is planning to keep the Senate in session over the weekend and force Democrats from red states to repeatedly vote against the bill which includes funding for CHIP, the health insurance program for children. âThey will own this shutdown and we will take these votes over and over so they are on record.
Cashmere wool, usually simply known as cashmere, is a fiber obtained from Cashmere goats and other types of goat. Common usage defines the fiber as a wool but in fact it is a hair, and this is what gives it its unique characteristics as compared to sheepâs wool. The word cashmere is an old spelling of Kashmir. Cashmere is fine in texture, strong, light, and soft. Garments made from it provide excellent insulation.
Notice how every soft fiber is compared to cashmere, as in âthis is as soft as cashmere.â Purists think nothing is as soft as cashmere! âPashminaâ is a marketing term, not a specific fiber. Pashmina shawls are made of a fiber blend of cashmere and silk. Another confusing term is âcashgoraâ Since angora (mohair) goats also produce fiber, and a lot of it, attempts were made to breed them to cashmere goats to increase yield. What resulted was a long, wavy, lustrous, coarser fiber that canât be called cashmere.
