EMesophothamiya imivubukulo yathola amathuluzi asetshenziselwa ukugunda uboya ngo-2300 BC, futhi indwangu ye-cashmere yatholakala eSiriya ekuqaleni kuka-200 AD, kodwa amarekhodi abhaliwe e-cashmere ayengekho ngaphambi kwekhulu le-16.Kodwa kuye kwaba nezinganekwane eziningana nge-cashmere, edume kakhulu kuzo eyokuthi ulwelwesi loMphongolo Wesivumelwano (ibhokisi uMose abeka kulo iMithetho Eyishumi eBhayibhelini) lwalakhiwe nge-cashmere;kuthiwa i-cashmere yake yasetshenziswa eRoma lasendulo ngenxa yothando lwezikhulu zoMbuso WaseRoma.Eyaziwa ngokuthi "Inkosi Yezindwangu".

Ezikhathini Zobukhosi BamaTang ezweni lakithi, indwangu yoboya be-cashmere eyalukwa “kuboya bangaphakathi” obuhle nobuthambile (i-velvet) yembuzi ibizwa ngokuthi “i-velvet brown”, ekhanyayo futhi efudumele, futhi ethandwa kakhulu abantu.Incwadi ethi "Heavenly Foreign Objects" kuMing Dynasty iphinde yachaza indlela yokukhiqiza indwangu ye-cashmere: "ukudonsa i-velvet" ngeminwe, bese "ukwelula intambo nokweluka i-velvet ensundu".
