Hand-Linking Cashmere: Ensuring Seamless and Durable Finishes

A meticulous finishing process is crucial for creating luxurious cashmere garments. At Lomanthang Cashmere, every garment undergoes hand-linking, a technique where each tiny knit loop is carefully linked by hand at the end of production. This method is especially valued for finishing seams and achieving a smooth, seamless appearance.

The Importance of Hand-Linking

Hand-linking guarantees that seams remain straight, strong, and flexible, preventing garments from losing shape even
after years of regular wear. By connecting each loop with precision, the final product maintains structural integrity and
displays a polished, professional finish that machine finishing alone cannot replicate.

Tools and Technique

Skilled linkers use large-eyed, often curved needles designed specifically to work with yarn weights that match the
garment’s knitting. For example, a linker working with a piece knit at 5 points per inch selects yarn of comparable
diameter or count to ensure uniformity. This attention to detail guarantees that linked seams blend seamlessly with
the surrounding fabric.
