The Beginning
The first version of Road to China was a worsted-weight blend that included special fibres such as camel, yak, soy fibre, cashmere and baby alpaca.
 
The Mill
Once we began working with partner mills, however, it was necessary to find fibres to create similar results that could be sourced regularly. Mulberry silk was substituted for the soy fibre, for example, and because yak fibre was only available in tiny quantities, it was also replaced with extra cashmere.
