The meticulous process of hand-combing cashmere involves carefully refining the fiber before it is spun into yarn. This crucial step is vital for preserving the luxurious quality and unmatched softness that cashmere is celebrated for.
We, at Lomanthnag Cashmere, comb our cashmere goats once a year using a traditional method, starting in mid-April and lasting about a month. The process involves cutting off the matted hair and gently combing the undercoat to collect cashmere. Our animal husbandry culture prioritizes the well-being and health of the goats to ensure high-quality cashmere. This combing process also benefits the livestock beyond just collecting cashmere.
Hand combing cashmere involves collecting the fine fibers from cashmere goats, cleaning the fibers to remove debris and grease, using specialized combs to separate and align the fibers, and removing any remaining knots and debris to ensure high-quality yarn.
