From Raw Materials To Luxury Goods

Shearing And Sorting

Edinburgh Cashmere sources cashmere and lambswool from sustainable farms and ensures the quality and reliability remain consistent for years. The wool is collected and the fine fibre is gathered by hand-combing or shearing. Then, our artisans use their expertise to sort the fibre based on its fineness, colours, and origin.

Cleaning

To ensure high quality is maintained throughout the process, we clean the sorted fine fibres by washing them to remove impurities like dirt, dust, and grease. The resulting yarn is soft, smooth, and clean.

Drying And Dyeing

Once washed, our quality raw materials undergo the drying and dyeing process. Our drying process involves de-haring the fibres by removing the coarse hairs and detangling them to give them a fluffier look and feel. Moreover, unlike other manufacturers, we dye our fibres before weaving for the best results.

Spinning

The Edinburgh Cashmere factory uses the woollen spinning process to convert their cashmere and lambswool fibres into a compact and durable yarn form that is easier to handle. The spinning process involves feeding the fibres into a machine and applying a little twist, ensuring no combing occurs during the process. This produces fine, soft, lofty threads perfect for luxury goods like scarves and stoles.

Wrapping And Weaving

The resulting cashmere and lambswool yarns are wrapped, drawn up through the loom, and weaved into the desired design. Edinburgh Cashmere is famous for its signature DC Classic Check design, which is unique, innovative, and pays homage to its Scottish heritage. At the Edinburgh Cashmere factory, we use different thicknesses and densities of threads to create a line of luxury woollen goods perfect for all year.

Final Treatment

To ensure the resulting fabric complies with our quality standards, it undergoes an extensive finishing and inspection process involving the following methods:

• Brushing
• Fulling
• Teaseling
• Drying
• Steaming
• Setting

The final fabric is cut, labelled and inspected before packing.
