Regenerated cashmere yarn is produced through a mechanical process developed in the textile district of Prato (Italy), which is the most important textile district in Europe.
Even if the reuse of waste materials and fabric regeneration are very popular now (thankfully), they aren’t something new!
More than a hundred years ago the artisans of Prato – the so-called “Cenciaioli” – invented the regeneration method of old woolen garments (or industrial waste) to produce yarns for knitting or weaving.
Old knits and waste from the processing are selected by color and then reduced to the fiber state through a carding process.
“RE-Cashmere is a precious yarn, not only because contains cashmere, one of the noblest animal fibers, but because it is a green, sustainable yarn!”
