Scottish Cashmere Sweaters
No one can deny the luxury of cashmere apparel. While most of it comes from China due to their large population of cashmere producing goats, some items are made in Scotland. There is something very special, luxurious and almost magical about Scottish cashmere sweaters. They wrap you in comfort and warmth, and evoke mental images of windswept cliffs and rolling green meadows. The material harvested from these sweaters comes from certain species of goats who are plentiful in Scotland.
The cashmere goats in Scotland have been perfected by years of cross breeding with other cashmere goats from around the globe. Despite the cross breeding, the heritage of these goats goes back to the sturdy Scottish feral goat which thrives in harsh environments. These cashmere goats are herded and shorn much like sheep. The difference is that the cashmere material must be harvested via combing or shearing in the early spring which is the only time it molts. It can take anywhere from three to eight goats for one sweater.
If you are unable to travel to Scotland to buy a 100% cashmere sweater, don't worry. They can be ordered online from a variety of sites, including one called Best of Scotland who is based in New York. They offer a number of sweaters and capes in lots of different colors. Another company to consider is Isle of Skye Cashmere which sells Scotland knit cashmere of all kinds. Here you will find extremely fashionable cashmere sweaters and accessories. Whether you are looking for something casual or something dressy for the office you can find it here.
Scottish cashmere sweaters may be more expensive than Chinese cashmere sweaters because they are not quite as abundant. China is a top producer of cashmere thanks to their massive population of goats, and although Scotland also has a reputation for fine cashmere it is not quite as plentiful as it is in China. You can expect to pay hundreds for a premium quality sweater. When making your purchase, make sure the label says 100% cashmere and Made in Scotland. Because a cashmere sweater is a wardrobe investment that is on the delicate side, hand wash or dry clean only when necessary and fold your sweater carefully for storage.
