Introduce cashmere as a luxury fiber, highlighting softness, warmth, breathability, and its role in high-end knitwear.

What is Cashmere?

cashmere fabrics

Cashmere is a rare luxury fiber combed from the undercoat of goats raised in Mongolia, Inner Mongolia, and the Himalayan regions. Known for its ultra-fine fibers (14–16 microns), it offers unmatched softness, lightweight warmth, and natural breathability. Unlike regular wool, cashmere feels smoother against the skin, provides better insulation without bulk, and elevates knitwear into a premium category.

  • Origin (Himalayan goats, Mongolia, Inner Mongolia, etc.)

  • Fiber properties: ultra-fine micron count (14–16 µm), lightweight insulation, natural softness.

Cashmere FAQs

Every batch of cashmere yarn is tested for micron count, colorfastness, and consistency before knitting. We also run in-line inspections at multiple production stages, ensuring uniform softness and fit across bulk orders.

While all natural fibers may pill, we minimize this risk by sourcing long-staple cashmere fibers and applying proper finishing processes. For higher durability, we can also suggest blended yarns that maintain luxury softness while improving resistance to wear.

Yes, we dye yarns in bulk lots and maintain strict shade control to match Pantone standards. Lab dips are approved by the customer before full production, ensuring the final garments align with your brand’s collection palette.

We work with suppliers who provide traceable and certified cashmere, including OEKO-TEX and GCS (Good Cashmere Standard). This allows your brand to communicate transparency and responsible sourcing to eco-conscious consumers.

We follow standard US, EU, UK, and Asian size grading systems and can adjust patterns to your target market. Each size set is test-knitted and fitted before mass production to avoid inconsistencies.

We offer protective packaging such as individual polybags, tissue wrapping, or luxury gift-box packaging. For B2B bulk orders, we also provide Amazon FBA-ready labels, barcodes, and export cartons tailored to your logistics needs.
