At Imperial Cashmere, we believe in using only the best quality materials for our products. That's why our yarns are spun from fibers of length 36-40mm – making them some of the longest cashmere fibers available. Long fibers means our cashmere pieces are more resistant to pilling (the forming of small wool lint on your garment) than cheaper cashmere woolens on the market.

Further, all our yarns are free of any harmful chemicals, certified by OEKO-TEX® standards. Working with world class spinners ensures only the finest fibers are handwoven into the final product.

Yarns that have been dyed require an organized process to be transformed from a hank into fabric. Every inch of yarn is carefully handled by our team of skilled winders, who take the time to delicately wrap it into a cone shape. Once these cones are properly formed, they are passed on to our machining department, where they will be placed in looms to turn into fabric.

The total warp yarn length and number of yarns depend on the desired length, width and thickness of the fabric. A proper warp factor needs to be determined to maintain the desired cover factor (the fraction of the area of the fabric covered by both warp and weft yarns), which ultimately determines the fabric’s longevity. 

Weaving is where the magic happens. It is where we take great pride in our craftsmanship.

At our factory in Nepal, the art of weaving was inherited from one generation to another, passed down from mother to son. This traditional style of weaving is a lost art in most of clothing production today, especially in cashmere Made in China.

Weft yarn runs horizontally across the fabric that interlocks with the warp yarn to create a raw fabric.

Our two weaving techniques are Dobby and Jacquard. Both techniques use traditional power looms, which are responsible for producing elegant borders that cannot be achieved with modern rapier looms. We have Dobby Looms to thank for our signature felted and diamond scarves, while Jacquard looms make much more complex designs.

We use a fully fashioned flat knitting machine to create each and every garment. This means that each piece of knitwear passes through the hands of skilled knitters crafting each piece with precision and care. Each stitch is individually placed, ensuring a perfect fit from top to bottom, from the front to the back of the garment.
