Fleece collection
Seasonal collection points buy graded fleece from herders at published rates, replacing the middleman network that used to swallow the margin.
Nepal's traditional and high-altitude wool has strong sustainability, heritage and market potential. HFMN develops it as a modern, ethical fiber programme — from fleece to finished garment.
Nepal's indigenous wool comes from the high altitudes where the sheep and goats work through winter. It is coarser than merino, warmer than most, and — until recently — largely absent from any national inventory.
The HFMN wool programme is building that inventory: grading standards, washing units, spinning cooperatives and a route to market that keeps the herder in the value chain instead of at its edge.
Chyangra and high-altitude sheep produce a fibre made by weather itself — fine, resilient, and quietly luxurious.

Small mechanized scouring and spinning units in Mustang, Dolpa and Humla process fleece close to source — reducing loss and carbon.
Wool-silk and wool-allo blends are prototyped with weaver-designers so the innovation belongs to the cluster, not to a distant studio.
“The wool used to leave in a sack. Now it leaves in a scarf — with our name on it.
