The Benefits of Cashmere
Understanding Chanyarn Cashmere
1. What makes our Inner Mongolian cashmere different from other cashmere?
Cashmere quality is influenced by several factors, including fibre diameter, fibre length, purity, colour, and processing.
Our Grade A cashmere is sourced from goats raised in the Gobi region of Inner Mongolia. The region’s harsh natural environment contributes to longer and finer cashmere fibres, with fewer naturally pigmented fibres. This helps us achieve more consistent and stable colour during the dyeing process.
Many cashmere products on the market are sourced from different regions, including Mongolia. Mongolian cashmere typically has a fibre diameter of around 15–17 microns, with many batches measuring above 17 microns. It may also contain a higher proportion of naturally pigmented fibres, which can affect colour consistency and dyeing performance. Cashmere yield after dehairing can also vary and is generally lower in some Mongolian cashmere.
2. Why do most cashmere brands sell sweaters between $100–$1000, while yours is priced so affordably?
We don't aim to be the cheapest cashmere brand. We aim to make well-made cashmere more accessible.
As a professional manufacturer specialising in cashmere and wool apparel, we operate an integrated production process covering raw materials, yarn processing, knitting, finishing and quality control.
By selling directly from the factory to customers, we reduce the costs associated with multiple layers of intermediaries and traditional retail markups. We pass those savings on to our customers while maintaining our standards for materials and craftsmanship.
3. Why is Chanyarn priced at $60 while similar sweaters are available for $50?
We are the original manufacturer, not a middleman.
Price is not determined by fibre content alone.
The final cost of a cashmere sweater is influenced by the quality and amount of yarn used, knitting density, garment construction, finishing and quality control.
For example, our basic cashmere sweater averages approximately 202 grams across sizes S–XL. Some lower-priced cashmere sweaters may weigh around 170–180 grams and use conventional cut-and-sew construction.
Selected Chanyarn styles also use denser knitting and, where specified, 3D seamless knitting technology. These choices can increase material and production costs while contributing to durability, structure and wearing comfort.
Our focus is not simply to match the lowest market price. We focus on delivering a thoughtful balance of cashmere quality, garment weight, construction and everyday wearability.
4. Why don’t you sell $40 or $50 cashmere sweaters?
Because we believe a cashmere garment should meet a certain standard before it carries our name.
We could reduce costs by using less material or simplifying construction, but that is not the direction we want to take.
We would rather maintain our standards for fibre quality, yarn weight and craftsmanship than produce a garment that does not meet our expectations.
5. What is the difference between 3D seamless knitting and traditional knitting?
3D seamless knitting uses advanced circular knitting technology to create more of the garment directly on the knitting machine, reducing the need for multiple cut-and-sewn fabric panels.
Depending on the garment design, seamless construction can reduce or eliminate bulky seams around areas such as the shoulders, sides and underarms.
Compared with conventional cut-and-sew construction, this approach can help preserve the natural stretch of the knit, provide greater freedom of movement and create a smoother, more continuous silhouette.
Please note: 3D seamless construction is used only on selected Chanyarn styles where specified in the product description.
6. What quality standards do we follow?
We are a professional manufacturer specialising in cashmere and wool apparel, with years of experience in knitwear production.
Our quality control covers the entire production process, from raw fibre inspection and yarn processing to knitting, finishing and final garment inspection.
We maintain strict standards throughout each stage of production to ensure consistency in fibre quality, yarn quality, garment construction and finishing.
Our manufacturing experience also includes OEM production for international knitwear brands. Where applicable, our materials and production processes follow relevant industry standards and certifications, including ISO 9001®, OEKO-TEX®, SFA® and RWS®.
7. Chanyarn’s Promise
We believe quality begins with honesty.
Every Chanyarn garment is made with the materials and specifications stated in its product description. We do not make false fibre-content claims or intentionally misrepresent the materials used in our products.
As a professional manufacturer, we believe transparency and integrity are the foundation of everything we make.
We are also committed to providing reliable after-sales support and taking responsibility for the products we manufacture.
Our focus remains on cashmere and wool apparel. We will continue to invest in better materials, thoughtful craftsmanship and consistent quality to make well-made knitwear more accessible to our customers.
