Why Handspun Cashmere Drapes So Naturally

Why Handspun Cashmere Drapes So Naturally

There is a certain softness that cannot be replicated. A rhythm in the fabric. A way it falls — not by force, but by nature. At vonoz cashmere, we believe that handspun yarn is the soul of this elegance. It’s what gives each stole its organic drape and living texture.

The Nature of the Fibre

Cashmere from the Himalayan Changthangi goat is naturally soft and resilient. But when spun by hand — without mechanical tension — its fibres retain their loft, bounce, and micro-irregularities. This results in a fabric that flows around the body, rather than sitting atop it.

Weaving With Breath

Handspun yarn behaves differently on the loom. It breathes. Our weavers intuitively adjust their movements to preserve the yarn’s rhythm, allowing the final textile to hold air and movement — not stiffness. The result? A stole that feels like wind and memory, not structure.

Character in Every Strand

Machine-spun yarn is smooth, but uniform. Handspun yarn carries subtle fluctuations — evidence of the human hand. These irregularities create shadows and motion in the weave, allowing your cashmere stole to fall in ways that are unpredictable, graceful, and uniquely yours.

Texture, Not Weight

It’s a common misconception that drape comes from weight. In truth, it comes from balance — between softness, airiness, and structure. Handspun yarn finds this balance naturally. You don’t feel it sitting on your shoulders — you feel it becoming part of you.
