It's my pleasure to introduce our cashmere spinning workshop and show you the working process. We mainly producing Nm.1/15, 2/16, 2/60, 2/120,etc cashmere yarn. Whether it is a woven cashmere scarf or knitted cashmere sweater, blanket, etc., cashmere yarn is the basis of all cashmere products. We have very strict requirements on the cashmere yarn spinning process, quality control, inspection, etc. Because it is directly related to product quality, hand feel, and durability. So, this is really a key point for the whole production process.

I'm very excited to introduce the process of making cashmere yarn, how the raw material fiber has to be dyed, and spun into yarn, we mainly producing cashmere yarn with Nm. 1/15, 1/16, 2/26, 2/60, 2/100, and so on. Cashmere yarn is the basis of all cashmere products, no matter it is woven or knitted cashmere scarf, blanket, or sweater, it directly influences the production quality, hand feels and durability, yarn spinning is really a key process for the whole production. Every step in our workshop is fully controlled by a strict system, come with me for the major processes.

1-Raw Material

Alashan/Alxa League is northwest of Inner Mongolia, China, wind from the Siberian Steppes caused these regions to reach −30 degree in winter. The climate of there is one of extreme weather conditions, combined with rapid changes of temperature and strong wind. Due to the geographic location and severe climate conditions, goats in Inner Mongolia produce the finest, longest and softest cashmere in the world to protect themselves from the chilly cold and the stormy wind.

The herdsmen here still keep the traditional way of grazing. Original ecology, 100% eco-friendly and sustainable is the only way to follow for thousands of years. Cashmere generally shed during April, this precious fiber can be sourced by hand-combing, it doesn't need to be very difficult for this step. The goat will lose their hair spontaneously in this season because of the rising temperature.

2-Dyeing

The dye is modulated according to the ratio of the laboratory to dye the cashmere, and the sheep fiber has good moisture absorption, does not fade after dyeing, and has high color saturation. We use a low-temperature dyeing method of about 90-85 degree , and use environmentally friendly and pollution-free dyes. A color can not be dyed all at one time, at least divided into two times to ensure the accuracy of the color, the dyeing process in addition to the strict implementation of the dyeing process, to ensure the fastness to dyeing.

Finished Dyeing. They are waiting for next step- Carding

3-Blending

4-Carding

5-Spinning

Finally, we twist two strands of yarn together and wrap them on the drum, each drum is around 1 kg of cashmere yarn.

Yarn Spinning is finished. Here in the picture, it is Nm. 2/26 cashmere yarn which is usually used in knitting items.
