Woolen spinning uses a balanced twist to retain volume and air, creating a lofty, highly insulating yarn with a soft surface bloom that is ideal for classic 7GG and 12GG winter knitwear. Worsted spinning aligns the longest fibers parallel before applying a firm twist, producing a dense, smooth, and pill-resistant yarn ideal for fine-gauge 14GG/16GG garments and trans-seasonal styles.
We offer flexible order quantities to support both sampling and scaled production. For available in-stock colors, our MOQ starts from 1 kg per cone. For custom-spun specifications, bespoke counts, or custom lab-dip dye lots, the MOQ is typically 50 kg per specification.
We offer both. We maintain a vast inventory of over 100 stock colors for immediate sampling and rapid bulk production. Alternatively, our dye masters can match any custom Pantone shade or physical fabric swatch you provide, offering both piece-dyeing (for solids) and top-dyeing (for complex heathered/melange yarns).
We develop intimate blends combining our long-staple goat cashmere with Mulberry Silk, Fine Wool, and specialty natural fibers to meet specific structural, drape, and commercial price points. For bi-component blends, our partner dye facilities utilize precise multi-bath temperature-controlled cycles to ensure uniform color leveling and high colorfastness.
Quality control is maintained upstream. We manage raw fiber sorting and mechanical dehairing in-house to guarantee a consistent staple length of 36–38mm. All bulk yarn lots undergo batch testing for tensile strength, twist stability, and fiber diameter, and we fully support independent third-party laboratory verification (SGS/Intertek) upon request.
Sourcing high-grade cashmere yarn is the foundational decision determining a knitwear collection's thermal loft, tactile recovery, and long-term durability. At Zhejiang Dingchuang Cashmere, we bridge the gap between raw fiber grading and precision spinning. Whether your production requires fine 2/60Nm worsted cones for trans-seasonal knitwear or classic 2/26Nm woolen cones for structured winter cardigans, selecting the right yarn architecture is critical to ensuring stable manufacturing and end-product consistency.
In industrial knitwear production, yarn linear density is designated by Metric Count (Nm) and Ply structure. The Nm represents the length in meters per gram of a single yarn strand (a higher number denotes a finer yarn), while ply denotes how many individual strands are twisted together. For example, a "2/26Nm" specification means two 26Nm single ends are twisted together, resulting in a resultant count of 13Nm. This 2/26Nm woolen count serves as the international benchmark for classic 7GG and 12GG flat-knitted garments, offering an ideal balance of structural stability, knitting efficiency, and thermal insulation.
Excessive pilling occurs when short, floating fiber ends escape the yarn matrix under mechanical friction. To control pilling at the source, we enforce strict mechanical dehairing in-house, exclusively selecting goat cashmere with a long staple length of 36mm to 38mm. This superior fiber length allows our partner spinning mills to apply consistent twist per inch (TPI), firmly anchoring the fibers within the yarn core while preserving natural softness and significantly outperforming market pilling standards.
The stage at which fiber is colored defines the yarn's final visual texture and production lead time. For solid, saturated shades, spun ecru yarn is dyed on package cones (piece dyeing), enabling faster turnaround and lower batch minimums. For heathered or mélange yarns, we oversee "top dyeing," where dehaired fiber batches are dyed prior to carding and spinning. Blending different colored fiber lots during carding generates unmatched tonal depth and color richness, engineered to precise seasonal color standards.
