We all know how soft, warm, and quietly glamorous cashmere is. Here is what sits behind that feeling, and why a well-made cashmere piece stays comfortable from morning to night.
It adapts to the temperature
Cashmere goats grow their fiber for the extreme cold of the Mongolian steppe, so it is finer than most wool. Fine, natural and breathable, it holds warmth when it is cold and lets moisture escape as vapor when it is warm, so you stay comfortable as the day changes.
Soft, not scratchy
Because the fibers are so fine, cashmere feels smooth against the skin rather than prickly. It is why many people who find wool scratchy happily wear cashmere all day.
Fresh between wears
Cashmere absorbs moisture and releases it as vapor, so it feels dry and tends to stay fresh between wears. Laying a sweater flat to air for an hour is often all it needs.
Cozy nights
A cashmere blanket or robe keeps you warm without the weight, and its breathability helps you avoid overheating under the covers.
Wear cashmere for style, for warmth, and for the simple comfort of how it feels. See how to care for your cashmere to keep it that way for years.
