The Benefits of Pure Cashmere

  • SOFT

    Cashmere fibers are incredibly thin and delicate. Only a handful of these fibers come from the under coat of the Kashmiri Goat, making it a rare commodity. The fibers have a small diameter and fineness compared to wool. The ultimate feel? Buttery soft to the touch.

  • WARM

    Cashmere is about 8x warmer than regular wool, making it one of the warmest fibers you can wear. The specific stitching and thickness of gauge offers layers of warmth. Cashmere adapts to your body temperature, keeping you comfortable no matter the weather.

  • VERSATILE

    An essential garment, easy to style up or down. Cashmere fibers are powerful but incredibly lightweight and easy to pack – making it a perfect travel companion. It will last a lifetime with correct care.

Pure Cashmere vs. Other Materials

  • Cashmere vs. Wool

    • Softness: Cashmere is far softer than standard sheep’s wool – no prickly itch, just silky comfort.
    • Warmth: Cashmere offers greater warmth for its weight, insulating better without needing thick, heavy yarns.
    • Weight: A cashmere cardigan feels light, unlike a chunky wool sweater.
    • Durability: While sheep’s wool can be very durable, a high-quality cashmere garment will last for years with proper care, giving you longevity along with luxury.

    When it comes to comfort and coziness, cashmere outshines regular wool every time.

  • Cashmere vs. Cashmere Blends

    Many “cashmere” sweaters on the market are actually blends (mixing a smaller percentage of cashmere with sheep wool or synthetic fibers).

    These blends may cost less or add a bit of strength, but they dilute the magic of pure cashmere.

    A 100% cashmere piece delivers the full experience – maximum softness, warmth, and breathability.

    By contrast, a 30% cashmere/70% wool blend, for example, will feel less plush and not as toasty.

    In short, only pure cashmere gives youallthe benefits without compromise.

Timeless Style & Quality

Cashmere isn’t just about feel – it’s about timeless fashion. The elegant drape and rich texture of a cashmere garment elevate any outfit, whether it’s a casual weekend look or an office ensemble. Because of its classic appeal and lasting quality, cashmere never goes out of style.

A well-made cashmere sweater or scarf in a neutral color can be a wardrobe staple for many years, looking just as chic season after season.

Investing in pure cashmere means investing in pieces that you love to wear andl ove to keep.

It’s luxury that proves its worth every time you put it on.

Cashmere Care & FAQs

1. What makes cashmere so special (and pricey)?

Cashmere comes from the soft undercoat of cashmere goats—think of it as nature’s luxury fiber. It’s incredibly soft, lightweight, and warmer than regular wool. It takes the fleece from 3–4 goats to make just one sweater, which is why it’s more exclusive (and yes, more spendy). But once you feel it, you'll know why it’s worth it.

2. Is cashmere itchy like wool?

Nope—not even close. Pure cashmere is famously soft and non-itchy, even on sensitive skin. Unlike sheep’s wool, it contains less lanolin and has ultra-fine fibers, so you get that “wrapped-in-a-cloud” feeling with zero scratch.

3. How do I care for my cashmere? Is it high maintenance?

Cashmere’s not as high-maintenance as you’d think! Just hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent (or baby shampoo), lay flat to dry, and store folded—not hanging. Give it a little TLC, and it’ll love you for years.

4. What’s the difference between pure cashmere and a cashmere blend?

Think of it like chocolate: 100% cashmere is the rich, velvety dark stuff—pure indulgence. A blend mixes in wool or synthetics, which can make it less soft, less warm, and less breathable. At LoveCashmere, we only do pure. Because you deserve the real deal.

5. Will my cashmere pill? What should I do if it does?

Yes, even the finest cashmere may pill (those tiny bobbles) with wear- it’s totally normal! Just use a fabric comb or cashmere comb to gently brush them off. It’s a 2-minute refresh, and your piece is back to looking flawless.

6. Is your cashmere sustainably and ethically sourced?

Absolutely. We partner with trusted suppliers who treat both goats and herders with care. Our cashmere is ethically sourced, responsibly made, and built to last. Feel good knowing your luxury comes with a lighter footprint.

7. Can I wear cashmere all year round?

es, yes, and yes. Cashmere is surprisingly breathable, which means it keeps you warm in winter and cool in spring and autumn. Lightweight cashmere layers are perfect for chilly offices, evening strolls, or travel. It’s basically your year-round BFF.

8. How do I store my cashmere?

Treat it like a little treasure. Fold your cashmere (don’t hang—it can stretch!) and store it in a breathable cotton bag or drawer. In warmer months, toss in some cedar or lavender sachets to keep moths away. Bonus: your knits will smell amazing.

9. How do I know it’s real cashmere?

Good question! Real cashmere is super soft, warm, and lightweight. If it feels rough, heavy, or sheds like crazy—it’s probably not 100%. At LoveCashmere, we only use100% pure, grade A cashmere, so you’re always getting the good stuff.

10. Will my cashmere stretch or shrink?

Not if you treat it right. Cashmere can stretch a little with wear, which actually helps it mold to your body beautifully. To avoid shrinking, always wash in cold water, by hand, and skip the heat. Always fold—never hang. Hanging cashmere can stretch it out and cause it to lose shape (especially around the shoulders). Instead, fold your pieces neatly and store them in a drawer or on a shelf.
