What is recycled cashmere?
Recycled Cashmere is obtained by recycling cashmere fiber. It is a pure cashmere yarn with low environmental impact, made entirely from high-quality recycled cashmere.
We only use cashmere waste and remnants from spinning and, most importantly, recycled old cashmere knitwear, which would otherwise end up in a landfill or incinerated.

This offers many advantages, the three main ones being: 1- The quality is the same as yarns made with cashmere staple, maintaining the fluffiness, softness, and the best quality of the yarn itself and the garments produced. 2- The price of the yarn is significantly reduced while maintaining the best characteristics, lowering production costs and the use of raw materials. 3- It avoids discarding unused fiber, reducing environmental pollution. Therefore, it preserves the environment by reducing the amount of waste produced. 4- It supports local industry and encourages creativity and innovation. 5- The materials have a longer lifespan. 6- (but not least) consumption is consistently reduced: 90% less water consumption, 80% less electricity consumption, 95% less carbon dioxide consumption.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, approximately 12.4 million tons of textile products were recycled in 2013. It is estimated, for example, that the average American throws away 68 kilos of clothes each year. Recycled fashion means reducing the amount of waste associated with environmental protection and saving CO2 and water.
The cashmere fibers, the clothes that are thrown away every year, are still usable and in excellent condition. This is why we manually select the best of them and, after sorting by quality and colors, we recycle them using a special technique.
To give you the opportunity to try this yarn, we have decided to run a temporary promotional sale at a very special price.

Our yarns are 100% recycled cashmere; we do not use staple fiber for these yarns. Some yarns, like the tweed ones, are 90% recycled cashmere and 10% silk (the silk being the nubs); some are recycled cashmere and lurex; some have sequins. In any case, the cashmere we use is ALL recycled.
At the bottom of this page, you can find the link to our advice for working and washing cashmere.
And as I always say: Please, Always Make a Swatch and Wash It Before Proceeding with the Final Work.
The raw materials we use to make our eco-cashmere yarns come from a GRS-certified company, which performs sample laboratory analyses on many of the batches produced (a couple of analysis examples are below), and the results obtained rarely fall below 98% cashmere purity.
