Can the Montana Wool Lab also analyze cashmere fibers, like it does wool fibers?

Expert Response

We do test some other fiber such as Mohair occasionally. However, our OFDA's do not have a cashmere calibration so I would be using a Merino wool calibration to analyze your samples. Charge would be $2.50 per sample.  I’m sure you are aware of the commercial wool testing lab – Yocom McColl in Denver, CO http://www.ymccoll.com/.  I know they would have the capabilities to test cashmere as well.  Please let me know if you have any further questions I can answer.
