Recycled
Cashmere
Our recycled cashmere is knitted from manually selected cashmere waste, sorted by quality, colour and fibre contents.When cashmere goats are grazing, they pull grass out by the root, which stops it from being able toregenerate. We use recycled cashmere as it avoids the destruction of grasslands in Mongolia. It also reduces methane emissions from goats, land use and water pollution from washing cashmere.Recycled cashmere uses less energy, dye, and water than virgin cashmere. It also reduces theamount of fabric going into landfill and keeps materials incirculation for longer.
Cashmere goats live in the wild with the herders.The yield and quality of cashmere are very dependent on the environment and are affected by temperatures and the goat’s diet. This is why cashmere goats only live in specific grassland environments.The goats grow two coats of hair, with the inner one being soft and fine. The inner coat is only a small percentage of the full fleece and sheds naturally in spring when harvested.Cashmere a durable and resilient fabric that resists wrinkles and maintains shape well. The fabric is also warmer than wooland can be dyed easily.
