This is cashmere with a character you haven’t experienced before. Our cashmere is obtained from the spring combing of Tibetan cashmere goats, reared by some of the families who belong to our cooperatives and who live in the mountains’ most extreme and poorest areas.

Our Tibetan cashmere is a fiber over 36 mm long and with a gauge below 14.5 microns, characteristics that make it a yarn of absolute excellence. The yarn is spun with the perfect balance of ease to allow the yarn to bloom while still securing the fibers.

About our natural dyes:
Let’s look at nature’s colors: plants, flowers, and mushrooms create each season’s hues which are unique and inimitable, impossible to manufacture industrially. Our naturally-dyed Tibetan cashmere will only be available in limited runs because these natural colors vary constantly throughout the year. Therefore, the garments you are going to create with it will always be unique.

These yarns are been dyed with all natural pigments. Using natural dyes allows us to create beautiful colors while choosing a sustainable and eco friendly method that honors our history with color and textiles. Much thought and care has been put into the colors and dyes chosen: Madder Root, Cochineal, Logwood, Indago, Weld and Osage Orange. These dyes are honored for their depth of shade and color fastness while maintaining the soft and of our yarn.
