Hand Combing
The Art of Hand-Combing Cashmere
The meticulous process of hand-combing cashmere is more than just a technique it is a tradition that ensures the fiber retains its luxurious quality and unmatched softness. At Lomanthang Cashmere, we take pride in refining each fiber carefully before it is spun into high-quality yarn.
Annual Combing Tradition
Every year, starting in mid-April and lasting about a month, we comb our cashmere goats using traditional methods. The process begins by gently cutting away matted hair and then carefully combing the undercoat to collect the finest cashmere fibers. This practice not only ensures superior wool but also prioritizes the well-being and health of the goats, reflecting our deep commitment to ethical animal husbandry.
Step-by-Step Hand Combing Process
Hand-combing cashmere involves several precise steps. First, the fine fibers are collected from the goats. Next, they are cleaned to remove any debris, dust, or natural grease. Using specialized combs, artisans carefully separate and align the fibers, making sure that all knots and impurities are removed. This attention to detail guarantees that only the softest, most luxurious strands move forward to spinning.
From Fiber to Luxurious Yarn
Once combed and refined, these fibers are transformed into high-quality yarn, ready to be knitted or woven into our exquisite products. This careful, hands-on approach preserves the integrity, softness, and durability of each piece, ensuring that every 100% Handmade Cashmere from Nepal item delivers comfort and elegance.
