Capabilities
Luxury Cashmere Manufacturing Capabilities in Nepal
From fibre selection to final finishing, every capability exists to serve exceptional cashmere knitwear — developed and manufactured in Kathmandu, Nepal for discerning global brands.
What We Make Possible
Turning creative intent into a repeatable production standard.
Behind refined cashmere knitwear is a precise chain of material and technical decisions.
At Kanchan Cashmere, we connect yarn, gauge, proportion, stitch, construction, finishing, measurement and approvals through one disciplined development and production process. We support boutique brands, independent designers and established houses that require technical interpretation and continuity alongside manufacturing capacity.
From Kathmandu, we develop and manufacture cashmere sweaters, cardigans, scarves, shawls, dresses, outerwear and accessories from 3GG to 16GG. Each program is aligned around design language, yarn route, target quantity, quality requirements and delivery window.
Production Framework
Clear technical and commercial foundations before production begins.
Core parameters are confirmed per program so development, approvals and production planning operate from the same basis.
30 pcs / style
Standard MOQ with a minimum of 10 pieces per colour.
7–14 working days
Typical window for 1–3 samples per style with a confirmed brief and available yarn basis.
35–45 working days ±5
Typical production window after approvals and yarn readiness.
AQL 2.5
Final shipment-release benchmark unless otherwise agreed.
CARIAGGI · CONSINEE · TOP LINE
Yarn availability and supporting documentation are confirmed per program.
Integrated Knitwear System
From first swatch to final shipment.
Design interpretation, swatch development, yarn planning, sampling, knitting, linking, washing, finishing, quality control, packing and export coordination are organized as one connected flow.
This allows a knit idea to move in a controlled sequence from swatch to prototype, approved sample and ultimately repeatable bulk production.
Technical Range
From fine-gauge layers to sculptural winter knitwear.
12–16GG
Fine jerseys, ribs, lightweight layers, pointelle and cashmere-silk with controlled weight and drape.
7–10GG
Sweaters, cardigans, links-links, ribs, cables and textured structures balancing form and warmth.
3–5GG
Voluminous cables, fisherman structures, statement ribs and heavier winter pieces with pronounced surface character.
Gauge & Construction
Gauge is both a design and engineering decision.
Gauge selection affects weight, drape, recovery, warmth, yarn consumption, cost and how a garment behaves in wear. We therefore evaluate machine gauge together with yarn count, stitch structure and intended silhouette.
We work across jersey, rib, cardigan stitch, Milano, links-links, cable, pointelle, jacquard, intarsia, tuck, fisherman, honeycomb and custom stitch development. Our Swatch Library supports the development of brand-specific knit signatures.
Precision
Fine-gauge knitwear with controlled measurements, clean finishing and defined drape.
Texture
Mid-gauge structures with visible stitch identity and balanced weight.
Volume
Heavy-gauge knitwear with sculptural surface and controlled volume.
Material Intelligence
Yarn is the first technical design decision.
We develop programs in 100% cashmere and selected luxury blends including cashmere-silk, baby cashmere and recycled cashmere. Yarn route and composition are selected according to the product objective and buyer requirement.
Our primary yarn partners are CARIAGGI, CONSINEE and TOP LINE. Yarn count, composition, handfeel, colour, availability and relevant documentation are reviewed before production planning.
For certified yarn programs, available supporting documentation is aligned on a project-specific basis and claims are limited to what can be substantiated.
Development & Approvals
A controlled path from concept to bulk standard.
Sampling is used to define yarn, weight, handfeel, proportion, stitch balance, construction and finishing before a buyer releases bulk production.
The development flow can include swatches, prototypes, fit samples, salesman samples, pre-production samples, bulk production and shipment samples. Each approval creates a stronger reference for the next stage.
Development & Approval Flow
Every stage removes uncertainty before bulk.
StageSwatchYarn, gauge, stitch, handfeel and surface direction.
StagePrototypeConstruction, silhouette, base measurements and design interpretation.
StageFitProportion, sleeve balance, neckline, length and size comments.
StageSMSSales-ready samples for showroom, campaign and market feedback.
StagePPFinal production reference for yarn, trims, wash, measurements and finishing.
StageBulkControlled production, final inspection, packing and export.
Quality Control
Luxury is protected through controlled details.
Cashmere quality is visible in clean linking, balanced seams, stable measurements, controlled washing, careful pressing, correct labels and accurate packing.
Internal checks accompany knitting, linking, washing, finishing, measurement and packing. Final shipment release follows AQL 2.5 unless otherwise agreed.
Buyer Control
Capability should be visible at clear control points.
Feasibility
Design, yarn, gauge, target quantity, target price and delivery window are reviewed before development begins.
Technical Standard
Measurements, construction, handfeel, finishing, trims and comments are converted into a clear bulk standard.
Bulk Control
Production is controlled against the approved reference.
Final Release
Final inspection, packing and documentation are completed before shipment.
Reorders
Approved references and technical history support more consistent repeat orders and future seasons.
Early Escalation
Technical, yarn-related or timing deviations are addressed as early as possible.
Who We Support
For brands building cashmere for the long term.
Boutique BrandsFocused capsules, smaller runs and considered technical development.
Growing LabelsSeasonal collections, repeatable fits and more structured planning.
Established HousesMulti-style programs, nominated yarn routes and stricter approvals.
Private LabelConfidential development, brand-specific trims and controlled execution from prototype to shipment.
Partnership
A sample can begin the relationship. Continuity is what builds it.
We work with realistic timelines, clear commercial terms, disciplined sampling and transparent communication when technical or yarn-related questions need resolution.
Our objective is a long-term production relationship in which approved standards, technical history and shared product understanding become stronger from season to season.
