about us
Pamir Fine Fibers
We are a Swiss company that specializes in direct and fair trade with the finest cashmere from Kyrgyzstan.
​
Our name stands for the Central Asian high mountains Pamir, which is part of the roof of the world and where the climate is harsh and dry. This climate means that animals have to protect themselves from the cold in winter with a very soft, warm and fine undercoat. We use these natural fibers of the best quality to produce fine yarns in Europe with experienced processing partners.
​
With Pamir Fine Fibers we want to offer you yarns that meet the highest quality standards and at the same time make a contribution to the sustainable development of the clothing industry. From the farmers in the Tien Shan and Pamir mountains of Kyrgyzstan to the process chain in Europe to the finished product, there are no secrets for us and we attach great importance to socially fair and environmentally friendly production.
​
Our yarns represent species-appropriate animal husbandry and ecologically sustainable pasture management among farmers, as well as a consistently controlled and transparent processing chain. This means that each of our yarns can be fully traced - from transport to processing to the goat herds in the mountains of the Pamir and Tien Shan.
​
We pay the farmers a fair price for their quality. We buy our fibers directly from farmers, aiming to pay at least 50% more than local market prices. These additional financial resources allow farmers to improve pasture management and veterinary care as well as promote species-appropriate animal husbandry.
