We make it a point of honor to ensure complete transparency in the traceability of our cashmere. Linnea Lund cashmere is crafted from premium-quality yarn sourced from the undercoat of goats respectfully raised in Mongolia by herders who share our values.
Animal welfare is a priority at Linnea Lund. Therefore, it is only in spring, once the deep cold has passed, that our partner herders gather, by hand and with a comb, the precious down the animal naturally sheds at this time of year. It is the finest and warmest fiber available.
As Mongolian tradition dictates: only the naturally shedding coat is gathered, leaving the rest on the animal. Gently combing the goats rather than shaving them ensures the animals' well-being and guarantees the quality of the collected fiber, which is longer and better suited for spinning.
In Italy, near Mount Petrano, the down is entrusted to our partner spinning mill, a family-run business (certified by the Sustainable Fibre Alliance, Good Cashmere Standard, GOTS, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001) which turns it into a robust, soft, and durable yarn. This superior quality forms the beauty of our knits.
