CRAFTSMANSHIP

A quiet pursuit of perfection — where every stitch reflects patience, precision, and purpose.

Knitting

Precision begins with touch.

Expert hands guide every stitch, balancing yarn tension, gauge, and rhythm. Each piece begins here, where creation takes shape. In this first stage, our artisans set the foundation of every cashmere garment by controlling stitch density, gauge settings, and yarn behavior. Their touch determines the drape, softness, and structural balance of the final knit. Working with premium yarns from Cariaggi, Consinee, and Top Line, the team calibrates both machine and hand-flat stations to achieve clean surfaces and accurate measurements. From fine-gauge jerseys to sculptural ribs and jacquards, consistency is essential. Each panel must sit true before it moves to linking or finishing, reflecting our AQL 2.5 quality benchmark. Here, in the quiet rhythm of expertly guided needles, a Kanchan Cashmere piece first takes its form — defined by precision, stability, and the natural beauty of pure cashmere.

Linking

Where precision becomes form.

Every panel is joined by hand, one stitch at a time, ensuring clean lines, perfect alignment, and a seamless visual flow. In this stage, our artisans connect each knitted panel through meticulous hand-linking — a technique that defines comfort, symmetry, and long-term durability. By matching stitch to stitch with controlled tension, they ensure shoulders sit correctly, armholes follow natural contours, and necklines maintain a refined structure. Working with pure cashmere demands exact placement and constant tension control. Each seam is checked for smooth transitions, measurement accuracy, and structural balance, supporting our AQL 2.5 quality benchmark. This is where a garment truly becomes whole, shaped through disciplined craftsmanship and the steady precision of expert hands.

Pressing

Defining structure with controlled refinement.

Pressing sets the final silhouette, bringing precision to every seam, edge, and contour. It aligns the garment’s form before packing and ensures a clean, elevated finish. Each piece is lightly steamed and pressed using calibrated heat and pressure suitable for pure cashmere. This process stabilizes measurements, smooths minor irregularities, and enhances stitch definition without compromising the natural loft of the fiber. Shoulder lines, ribs, cables, and hems are shaped with care so the garment retains its intended drape and balance. Our team follows strict handling standards to avoid over-pressing, shine marks, or distortion — essential in luxury knitwear. Every piece is reviewed for symmetry, surface clarity, and final presentation, completing the craftsmanship journey before it enters QC and packing.

Finishing

Where softness, shape, and clarity emerge.

Each garment moves through a calibrated sequence of washing, drying, and surface refinement to reveal the true character of pure cashmere. At this stage, carefully knitted and linked panels transform into their final form. Our team follows controlled wash processes that allow the fiber to bloom naturally while maintaining structure and measurement accuracy. Precise drying prevents distortion, preserving stitch clarity and drape. Light de-pilling, steaming, and surface checks refine the texture of cables, ribs, jacquards, and fine-gauge knits. Every piece is evaluated for balance, softness, and durability, aligned with our AQL 2.5 quality benchmark. Finishing completes the garment — enhancing handfeel and ensuring each Kanchan Cashmere piece is ready for long-lasting wear.

Packing

Protected with care, presented with intention.

Each garment is packed through a refined, low-impact system that preserves cashmere quality while reflecting our commitment to responsible luxury. Every piece is folded to measurement standard, wrapped in recycled tissue, and placed inside recycled eco-polybags to safeguard the surface during transit. For gifting or D2C orders, we use FSC-certified boxes with minimalist components that reduce waste while maintaining a premium presentation. Before sealing each carton, our team verifies labeling accuracy, barcode scanability, shade-band separation, and carton strength. All accessories — labels, threads, buttons, zippers — comply with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, ensuring safe and responsible handling at every stage. Packing is the final touch in the craftsmanship process. It combines protection, sustainability, and presentation so each Kanchan Cashmere garment arrives in perfect condition, ready for retail and long-term wear.

AQL 2.5 Inspections

Verifying consistency, ensuring confidence.

Every production batch undergoes a final inspection using the AQL 2.5 standard, our benchmark for luxury knitwear quality and measurement accuracy. At this stage, garments are audited following ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 (ISO 2859-1) sampling criteria. Panels, seams, measurements, and finishing details are checked against approved specs, with focus on shade alignment, workmanship, structural balance, and surface clarity. Critical, major, and minor defects are categorized with defined acceptance limits to ensure consistency across sizes and colors. Our QC team reviews stitch integrity, linking quality, post-wash measurements, labeling, and packing standards before approving a lot for shipment. Any deviation triggers rework or re-audit, maintaining the reliability expected from premium cashmere manufacturing. This disciplined process gives buyers confidence in every order — ensuring each Kanchan Cashmere garment meets our craftsmanship promise and performs to the standards of international luxury brands.
