Silk Cashmere Sweater

Do you love the look and feel of authentic cashmere but hate the extravagant price? One solution is the silk cashmere sweater. When blended with silk cashmere is less expensive to own. Many apparel companies carry silk cashmere blends for you to consider. One source of silk cashmere sweaters is the Design History Company, found at sites like Overstock as well as major fine department stores. One offering is the short sleeve cashmere silk blend sweater that features puff sleeves and comes in malachite green, rose bud and cognac brown.


The popular online shopping channel QVC sells the Dialogue Silk Cashmere Blend Cowl Neck Tunic. You get the softness of cashmere together with the luxury of silk at a reasonable price. Because this sweater is tunic style, it can easily be layered over leggings or tights. You can also wear it with skinny jeans, or even a favorite skirt. When wearing tunic sweaters, keep in mind fitted bottoms look best because they help create a balanced figure. The Dialogue sweater comes in black, purple and red to suit any style.

Ladies aren't the only ones who can benefit from silk cashmere blends. Orvis sells a zippered men's sweater in a cashmere silk cotton blend that is anything but fancy. Designed for the everyday man, this sweater is insulated but not itchy. The silk in the fabric makes it light while the cashmere keeps the sweater extremely warm. Even the details are of high quality as the zipper pull is made from leather. Colors available include rust, navy, charcoal, red, yellow, sage and light blue. Sizes range from M to XXL to accommodate most every man.

Once you've purchased your silk cashmere sweater, you should know how to care for it properly. Basically this blend should be laundered just like cashmere or silk. This means hand wash or dry clean only. Use a fine garment detergent or even a gentle hair shampoo. Fill a basin with cool to lukewarm water and add a small amount of your preferred detergent or shampoo. Swirl it around to dissolve, then submerge the sweater for 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, then gently press out the excess water and lay flat to dry. If your sweater develops pills, don't despair. These tiny fuzz balls are normal and can be picked off or shaved with a plastic depilling comb.
