CRÈME CASHMERE FABRIC FOOTPRINT

Fibre content

70% Cashmere
30% Wool

Pros

Natural fibre blend – both cashmere and wool are natural animal fibres, offering a soft, warm and breathable alternative to synthetic knitwear.

Soft and insulating – cashmere is known for its exceptionally soft hand feel and lightweight warmth, making the sweater comfortable against the skin.

Added structure from wool – the wool content helps support the cashmere, giving the knit more durability and helping the garment hold its shape over time.

Breathable and temperature regulating – the natural fibre blend helps keep warmth in while still allowing the body to breathe.

Designed for longevity – with proper care, cashmere and wool garments can be worn season after season, making them a timeless wardrobe piece.

Cons

Delicate care required – cashmere and wool need gentle washing and careful storage to preserve softness, shape and longevity.

Animal-derived fibres – both cashmere and wool come from animals, so sourcing and farming practices are important considerations.

Pilling may occur – natural knit fibres can pill with wear, especially in high-friction areas. This can be managed with gentle care and a cashmere comb.

Higher-impact fibre – cashmere can have a higher environmental impact than some plant-based fibres due to land use and animal farming requirements.

Not suitable for all lifestyles – as a delicate knit, this garment may require more maintenance than everyday machine-washable pieces.
