如果你不喜欢厚重的衣服，并且想在寒冷的冬日仍保持时尚,羊绒制品将是一个较好的选择。羊绒制品既轻又精致，而且足够保暖,尤其是含绒量100%的羊绒毛衣和大衣。

According to Li Na, director of the quality testing department of Erdos Group, a Chinese cashmere clothes producer based in Ordos in Inner Mongolia autonomous² region, Chinese people often prefer cashmere products with less ball-up, while the foreign customers pay more attention to the design. Thus their sweaters for the domestic market were tightly knitted to decrease the pilling.
