Where Raw Fiber Becomes Himalayan Luxury

At Lomanthang Cashmere, we take pride in our state-of-the-art fiber processing unit, established in a cooperative model with local farmers and supported by national and international organizations.

All cashmere and pashmina collected from households in the villages are brought to this unit, where skilled artisans transform raw fiber into luxurious yarn ready for knitting and weaving.

The Fiber Processing Journey

The journey begins with collecting cashmere from Himalayan Chyangra goats. Through a series of meticulous steps, the raw fiber is carefully processed to maintain its softness, quality, and purity before being turned into yarn.

01

Breeding Baby Chyangra Goats

Sustainable breeding ensures healthy goats that produce the finest quality cashmere fibers, maintaining the integrity of our Himalayan herd from generation to generation.

02

Combing the Pashmina Goats

Skilled workers comb the goats to collect soft undercoat fibers without harming the animals, preserving the wellbeing of each goat while gathering the finest raw material.

03

Fiber Sorting

Fibers are sorted by color, quality, and any contamination, ensuring that only the finest material proceeds to the next stage of the production process.

04

Fiber Opening & Dedusting

The fibers are gently opened and dedusted to remove sand, dust, dandruff, and other impurities, preserving the natural softness of the cashmere throughout the cleaning process.

05

Fiber Scouring

Using bio-degradable detergent, fibers are washed to remove residual sand, dust, and natural animal grease, enhancing both cleanliness and quality while remaining kind to the earth.

06

Final Sorting & Dehairing

The coarse guard hair is separated from the fine down, leaving only the softest fibers suitable for luxury cashmere production and the most exquisite finished garments.

07

Carding

All fibers are carded into even, uniform strands, carefully preparing them for the spinning process and ensuring consistency throughout the finished yarn.

08

Hand Spinning

Using a traditional Charkha, artisans hand-spin the fibers into yarn, maintaining the integrity and delicacy of each strand through time-honored technique passed down through generations.

From Yarn to Products

Once spun, the yarn is ready to be knitted or woven into a wide range of cashmere products — all reflecting the craftsmanship and quality of handmade Himalayan cashmere.
