“Cashmere on Ice”
A Contest with Global Impact
Long Thread Media and Wild Fibers are excited to announce, “Cashmere on Ice,” a fiber arts competition that will showcase the best that can happen when fiber artists and exquisite natural fibers from the mountains of the world come together.

The United Nations General Assembly has declared 2025 the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation. Rapidly melting glaciers endanger not only the environment, but also the indigenous populations who depend on them for their social and economic survival. The nomadic herders in Ladakh, India, along with other communities throughout glacial regions around the world, are feeling the impact of vanishing water supplies that support their crops and fiber-producing animals.
The Craft Center
Expanding an ancient tradition in the High Himalayas
The Pangong Craft Center is the only cashmere craft center in the High Himalayas dedicated to supporting a semi-nomadic community of 120 families, living at 14,500'. Beginning with just five spinners in 2013, the center now employs nearly eighty women in the art of spinning and weaving cashmere as an alternative to working on the Indian Army's road crew.
