Cashmere Cable Sweaters

Cashmere is a type of fine fabric that originates from cashmere producing goats found in countries like China, Scotland and even the United States. These goats only produce the cashmere in the early spring which is when it is harvested. No harm comes to the goats, because the hair is taken by shearing or combing. One of the most popular applications for cashmere is the sweater. Cashmere cable sweaters are perfect for chilly months because they are classic, go with a lot of outfits and are very warm.


When you compare a sheep's wool sweater and a cashmere sweater, the cashmere sweater will keep you warmer every time. However, the fabric will be lighter and more flexible. Cashmere has a slightly fuzzy feel and comes in short and long fiber length. It is susceptible to developing those little fabric balls known as pills, however you can easily remove them by picking them gently off or using a depilling comb. All cashmere must be dry cleaned or preferably hand washed in gentle shampoo. And, it must never be dried in a machine but rather laid flat to air dry.

There are many different places to shop for a cable sweater made from cashmere. Bluefly is an online store for fashion forward young women who want trendy yet high quality apparel. They have a cable sweater made from cashmere that has short sleeves and is available in ivory or light pink. While this sweater is affordable at around $99, stores like Neiman Marcus, Macy's and Bergdorf Goodman sell cashmere sweaters in cable knit and other knits for upwards of $500. At sites like Nextag you can quickly and easily compare prices and features of cashmere sweaters and all kinds of other items with a few clicks of the mouse.

Whether shopping for yourself or someone else, cashmere cable sweaters make the perfect gift. Treat yourself to a new sweater and luxuriate in the silky softness and warmth of this natural wool. Or, wrap up a cashmere sweater for a friend or family member and watch their eyes light up when they open their gift. A cashmere sweater, cable knit or not, is a wardrobe item that will last for years to come if properly cared for and can be paired with everything from denim jeans to dressier items.
