HimGra® Fibre

A Climate-Positive Natural Fibre for Advanced Textiles

HimGra® is a proprietary natural fibre derived from perennial Himalayan grass cultivated on rainfed land without fertilizers or pesticides. A patented, mechanical, waterless process transforms the raw grass into a high-performance fibre with a naturally hollow, circular structure, delivering thermal comfort, breathability, and a low environmental footprint at source.

Designed for modern textile supply chains, HimGra fibre combines material intelligence with traceable origin, enabling brands to build compliant, future-ready collections without compromising performance or scale.

  • Naturally hollow structure for thermal regulation
  • Low cultivation impact on rainfed, input-free land
  • Mechanical, waterless fibre extraction process
  • Traceable origin from Himalayan regions
  • Compatible with conventional spinning systems

Applications — Apparel · Home textiles · Knits · Blended yarns

HimGra® Knits Development Programme

HimGra knit fabrics are developed through a partner-led sampling programme. Rather than offering a fixed knit catalogue, we work with selected knitting partners to develop application-specific structures based on your brief, gauge, blend, and performance requirements.

This approach ensures technical feasibility, optimal material performance, and responsible use of resources.
