The Brushed Cashmere Collection represents the pinnacle of luxury knitwear engineering. Spun in our vertically integrated mill from 100% Grade-A cashmere (2/26Nm), this specialized yarn is designed for our signature Japanese brushing process. Only cashmere possessing supreme fiber fineness and structural flexibility can withstand this advanced treatment. By altering the molecular structure of the down using nano-ion and soft-water technology, we extract a uniform, dense layer of fleece that mimics ecological fur while remaining exceptionally resistant to pilling and shedding. Available on industrial cones for B2B manufacturing, with highly flexible MOQs for both stock shades and custom lab-dips.

Operating as a fully integrated manufacturer, Dingchuang Cashmere bridges the gap between specialized yarn spinning and finished garment production. We supply B2B clients with our signature 2/26Nm Brushed Cashmere yarn on industrial cones, or we can manufacture your finished knitwear directly, executing the highly technical Japanese brushing process in-house to guarantee flawless, retail-ready results.
While standard cashmere relies on a traditional wash to achieve its surface halo, our brushed cashmere undergoes a highly specialized Japanese soft-water milling and nano-ion process after knitting. This alters the molecular structure to straighten the fibers, creating a dense, uniform fleece that mimics ecological fur.
Our 100% Cashmere 2/26Nm woolen yarn is the industry standard architecture. It is optimally engineered for 7GG (7 needles per inch) and 12GG computerized flat knitting machines, providing excellent stitch definition and the structural stability required to withstand the post-knit brushing process.
Yes. We maintain a comprehensive stock color card with an incredibly low Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) of just 1KG per color. For bespoke Pantone matching, our custom lab-dip MOQ is 100KG per color. We can accommodate custom dye lots under 100KG with a standard 5% surcharge.
No. Traditional furs and poorly milled fluffy yarns (like angora) shed catastrophically. Because our brushing process relies on advanced nano-ion technology rather than aggressive physical tearing, the cashmere roots remain firmly locked within the 2/26Nm yarn twist. It exhibits vastly superior resistance to pilling and shedding.
In the luxury knitwear sector, producing garments with a dense, fur-like loft without compromising structural integrity is a profound manufacturing challenge. Brushed cashmere—often referred to as the pearl at the top of the cashmere pyramid—requires an absolute mastery of both yarn architecture and post-knit wet finishing. This guide explores the technical prerequisites and processing variables necessary to successfully execute the Japanese brushing technique on 100% cashmere (2/26Nm) yarn.
The brushing process is inherently stressful to textile fibers. A common failure in B2B manufacturing occurs when factories attempt to brush standard or lower-tier (Grade B/C) cashmere. Short-staple or coarse fibers will snap under the mechanical and chemical tension of the brushing baths, resulting in a weak garment that sheds uncontrollably. Originating from Japan, authentic brushing technology demands raw material possessing extreme fiber fineness (14.0-15.5 microns) and maximum structural flexibility. Our 2/26Nm yarn is engineered from strictly graded down specifically to withstand and thrive under these parameters.
Traditional methods of creating a "fluffy" sweater involve abrasive physical combing (teaseling), which physically tears the fibers out of the yarn twist to create a halo. This inherently damages the yarn and guarantees future pilling. The advanced Japanese brushing process we employ is fundamentally different. It utilizes purified soft water and nano-ion technology to target the molecular structure of the protein fiber. Natural cashmere possesses a microscopic crimp (curl). The nano-ion treatment relaxes this crimp, causing the fibers to straighten and stand uniformly upright. This forms a dense, luxurious fleece layer while leaving the core roots of the fibers securely anchored inside the 2/26Nm twist.
For procurement teams and independent designers, managing yarn inventory is critical to cost control. Because we spin our 2/26Nm brushed cashmere yarn in-house, we offer highly scalable B2B purchasing structures. For rapid sampling, prototyping, or capsule collections, clients can access our stock color card with an MOQ of just 1KG per color. For large-scale production requiring specific brand colorways, we offer precise lab-dip matching with a standard MOQ of 100KG per color (with provisions for smaller custom lots subject to a 5% surcharge). This flexibility allows brands to test the market with brushed cashmere pieces before committing to massive bulk investments.
