How Is Cashmere Knitted? From Fiber to Design

Cashmere is one of the most refined materials in the fashion world. Its softness, warmth, and luxury feel almost effortless — yet behind every cashmere sweater or half-zip lies a story of craftsmanship and precision. Let’s explore how this extraordinary fabric is created: from fiber to design.

1. The origin of the fiber

Cashmere comes from the undercoat of the cashmere goat, found in the cold mountain regions of Asia. These goats grow a fine, insulating underwool to survive freezing temperatures — and each goat produces only 50 to 80 grams of usable fiber per year.


2. Hand-combing and sorting

In spring, when goats shed their winter coat, the soft fibers are hand-combed. They’re then sorted by hand — only the longest and finest hairs are selected for premium-quality cashmere.


3. Spinning: from fiber to yarn

The selected fibers are cleaned, spun, and twisted into ultra-fine yarn. The thickness of the yarn determines the final texture — fine for lightweight sweaters or T-shirts, thicker for cozy half-zips.


4. Precision knitting

Next comes the knitting stage. Some parts are machine-made, others are hand-finished. Every seam, texture, and fit is inspected carefully to achieve perfection.


5. Shaping & finishing

After knitting, each piece is washed, pressed, and finished. This step gives cashmere its signature softness and smooth drape. Every garment is hand-checked to ensure flawless quality.


6. Design: modern craftsmanship

Finally comes the design. Brands like Vercate combine traditional craftsmanship with a modern silhouette — timeless colors, refined zippers, and a perfect balance between comfort and sophistication.
