ricycled cashmere knitwear

Recycled cashmere is produced from textile waste, which is frayed and reduced back to the fiber state. This is then spun again. The recycling of cashmere is therefore a mechanical process, it reduces water consumption to almost 0, which is instead necessary for virgin cashmere fiber. Even for the coloring, recycled cashmere takes place by color division, water resources are almost always not used again. In fact, the scraps are selected by color before undergoing the whole process, in other cases, but really in very few cases, instead the cashmere is yarn dyed. The disadvantages? One in particular. Compared to virgin cashmere fiber, the recycled one is shorter, so it must be strengthened with a minimum percentage of natural cashmere or similar virgin cashmere fibers to make it resistant.
