Engineering Overview & Manufacturing Capabilities
Qinghe County is recognized worldwide as the undisputed capital of raw cashmere processing and fine knitwear manufacturing, processing over 70% of the globe's raw cashmere fiber. Our automated knitting mills produce premium 100% pure cashmere knitwear, cardigans, turtlenecks, and scarves for international luxury fashion houses and boutique direct-to-consumer labels.
We source certified raw Grade-A underfleece exclusively from the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. Fibers measure between 15.0 to 15.5 microns in average diameter with a staple length of 36 to 38 mm—the gold standard of ultra-luxury cashmere, delivering incomparable warmth-to-weight ratios without pilling or prickle. The yarn is combed, dehaired, and spun into 26Nm/2 two-ply high-twist yarn using state-of-the-art Italian spinning equipment.
Knitting is executed on computerized Shima Seiki (Japan) and Stoll (Germany) flat knitting machines in 7G (chunky rib), 12G (standard luxury sweater), and 16G (ultra-fine silk-cashmere blend). Collars, plackets, and sleeves are joined using traditional manual hand-linking machines to eliminate bulky interior seams. Each garment undergoes proprietary eco-friendly mild scouring and tumbling in softened pure water to unlock cashmere's legendary buttery hand-feel while preserving structural dimensional stability through repeated dry cleanings.
Industrial Cluster Deep Dive & Supply Chain Edge
Qinghe County (清河县), Xingtai
The Cashmere Capital of the WorldLocalized Ecosystem: Qinghe controls the worldwide throat of the cashmere industry. Every single production discipline—carding, sorting, dehairing, dyeing, worsted spinning, semi-worsted spinning, 3D computerized knitting, and hand-finishing—is concentrated within Qinghe County. Leading European luxury fashion houses in Italy and France secretly source raw dehaired tops and spinning services directly from Qinghe.
The "Neijuan" Source Factory Edge: Because Qinghe holds the primary global raw material inventory, local manufacturers eliminate international middleman surcharges and raw fiber broker commissions. A 100% pure Grade-A cashmere sweater that retails in New York or London for $250 - $350 costs only $26.50 - $38.00 ex-factory in Qinghe, offering luxury brands a stunning 600%+ markup opportunity.

End-to-End Production & Quality Control Process
Raw Cashmere Sorting & Mechanical Dehairing
Raw spring cashmere fleece is sorted by micron and staple length. High-precision carding machines strip coarse guard hairs, leaving pure undercoat down with <0.2% residual coarse hair.
Eco-Friendly Loose Fiber Dyeing & Spun Yarns
Fibers are dyed in low-liquor ratio dyeing vessels using Swiss Oeko-Tex certified reactive dyes, then blended and spun into 2-ply 26Nm/2 high-twist cashmere yarn.
Computerized 12-Gauge Seamless Flat Knitting
Programmed Shima Seiki computerized knitting machines knit panels with tension control, creating precise cable, waffle, or classic plain jersey stitches.
Precision Hand-Linking & Clean Seaming
Skilled artisans manually loop neckbands, cuffs, and shoulder armholes point-by-point onto linking dials, creating flawless, non-irritating flexible joints.
Soft-Water Scouring, Drying & Hand Finishing
Sweaters undergo controlled temperature washing in softened mountain water to bloom the cashmere loft, followed by slow steam pressing, lint de-fuzzing, and label sewing.
