You will have to check with an expert in Mongol-ing
but I would think they used the winter fluff of their
horses or the thick wool of the goats they herded.

And getting back on the "sheep" thing. Are Cashmere considered
goats or sheep? What's the difference between the designations?
I'm sure what the Asians had weren't quite the nice English
sheep that are so common to us round-eyes.
