Cashmere identity and labeling
The material record defines cashmere identity, composition and market label. U.S. law and ISO 17751 provide legal and analytical criteria for cashmere, wool and specialty animal-fiber mixtures.
Direct answer
Composition evidence is only the start of custom cashmere development. Yarn construction, gauge, structure, density, target weight, hand feel, finishing, measurements, testing and approval boundaries must be confirmed together for the requested garment.
Claims confirmed per project
Supplier identity, authorization, availability, certification, origin, micron, color, timing and performance are confirmed per project from the applicable records and approved samples. Prepare the material inputs and separate the sample approval stages.
From fiber to a working yarn
Cashmere percentage begins the yarn decision. Yarn count or system, ply, twist, blend, color route and batch determine the workable gauge direction, coverage, weight, surface and cost before sampling.
Surface, structure and garment result
Compact jersey, rib, cable, colorwork, boucle effects and brushed surfaces create different requirements for stitch definition, density, edge stability and finishing. LuMiao defines the machine gauge, washing route and finishing settings for the selected direction.
Sample and garment approval
A swatch establishes color, touch, coverage and surface direction. The complete garment confirms neckline and opening behavior, seam or linking quality, balance, measurements and the finish across edges and larger panels.
Pilling, dimensions and care
A comparable pilling grade includes a named method and conditions, such as the selected ISO 12945 route. Stated preparation, washing and drying conditions define dimensional change and support the final garment care instruction.
Project material and performance record
The project record covers cashmere percentage, micron or grade, origin, yarn supplier and batch, certification, recycled content, pilling grade, shrinkage percentage, colorfastness and care instruction.

How does 100% cashmere become a finished knitwear specification?
LuMiao develops yarn construction, gauge, stitch density, weight, surface, dimensions and finishing together with the fiber identity for the requested garment.
How is quality approved for a soft or raised cashmere surface?
The sample defines softness, visible halo, stitch definition, pilling requirement and edge clarity as connected quality targets for the intended result.
What should a buyer approve before cashmere bulk production?
Approve the composition record, yarn and color reference, garment sample, measurement specification, surface and edge result, construction details, agreed tests when required, and the supported care instruction.
How are pilling or shrinkage results compared?
LuMiao aligns the test route, preparation, cycle, assessment and care conditions, then records the applicable method and acceptance requirement for the project.
