According to the national standard GB 18267--2000 (cashmere) and industry standard FZ/T21003--2010 (de-haired cashmere), this study tested the quality index of de-haired cashmere, such as average diameter, variation coefficient of diameter, average length, crimp frequency, average breaking strength, variation coefficient of breaking strength, average breaking elongation, variation coefficient of breaking elongation, etc.. The selection was made among de-haired cashmere from six production areas based on the method of fuzzy ordering. The result demonstrated that the cashmere from Xingiang exhibited the best quality. Moreover, a more objective and accurate assessment model was proposed to evaluate the comprehensive property of de-haired cashmere. It hoped that the result could provide guidance for the optimal selection of raw materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
