    i eat meat. im not always happy that i do. but i do.

    however, why is cashmere so popular when it's really just made from indian goat skin. i mean, isnt that a bit cruel?

    It's made from the goat's hair. Not its skin.

    It's popular because it feels great and looks good. I want a cashmere sweater.

    Please.

    it's made from really fine goat hair or pashmina goats. i don't know it's like the fabric equavilant of a really yummy guy holding you or taking a bath when your really cold.

    why? They just shear them like sheep. Eating meat ACTUALLY contributes to world hunger-not soft sweaters :)

    I like cashmere...but I love faux fur so much more...it's so cuddly and comes in awesome colors and is almost always cheap(price not made, lol)
    I have tons of it.

    but you eat meat? I don't know I know I am hipocritical because I don't eat meat but I have clothing and shoes that amount to many cows and sheep-not in a sheared way either. But at the same time I hate meat so not eating it is easy but I love shoes:)

    I know...but you said it wasn't as high of quality...I think you made all the sheep of the world feel bad. Apologize...or they will attack. :D

    cotton sweaters are actually my favorite but if it is super cold I'll wear a cashmere one but straight up wool or even merino wool makes me break out on my chest and back.

    sorry for different climates...better? :)

    i must say i do draw the line somewhere. I turned down a really pretty and casual enough to wear at night fur coat from my grandma...she was pissed and it was hard because it was sooo soft...sob
