Ladies Cashmere Sweater

One piece of fashion apparel that all women should consider buying is the ladies cashmere sweater. Cashmere is a luxurious wool derived from certain types of goats. When compared to sheep wool, cashmere wool is warmer, lighter and softer. It is highly sought after by fashion conscious women everywhere and for good reason. Because cashmere doesn't come cheap, you should know how to buy the best cashmere sweater for your money.

Cashmere is so costly because it can take the wool of three or more goats to make one sweater. Manufacturing cashmere is time consuming and labor intensive, which also adds to the price. First, the cashmere wool is collected and separated from the denser wool. It is cleaned and spun often by hand because of the fragile nature of the wool. When shopping for a sweater, check the label. It should clearly state that the item is made from 100% cashmere for the finest quality. While you can find cashmere blended with other fabrics, a pure cashmere sweater is second to none in luxury and quality.

If you can, go for a two-ply wool instead of a one-ply wool because of the durability factor. When shopping try the sweater on and see how it fits and feels on your body. You can find cashmere sweaters in many different colors, however the lighter the color, the better. This is because sweaters in darker shades may require more dye which can compromise the soft texture of the wool. Another factor to look for is the length of the fiber. Longer fiber pills less than shorter fiber. Pilling is when your sweater develops tiny fuzzy balls. While all cashmere will probably develop pills at some point you can get a depilling comb to remove them.

Choosing the best cashmere sweater for your budget is a matter of comparison shopping. You'll find that the average ladies cashmere sweater costs between $150 and $300 depending on the manufacturer. You may find cashmere at a cheaper price, especially if the sweater is on sale or clearance. One way to obtain lower priced cashmere apparel is by shopping online with sites like Ebay or even checking with local secondhand shops. If you need to wash your cashmere sweater, do so by hand using a basin of water and gentle fine garment detergent. Never put cashmere in the dryer as it should always be dried by hand. The right care will keep your luxurious sweater in fine shape for a long time.
