Women’s Lightweight Cashmere Cardigan

At DAISYSILK, we’ve always explored premium, skin-friendly, and sustainably sourced fabrics crafted from natural fibers. While silk remains our hallmark of luxury, cashmere offers a complementary choice for cozy and refined fall and winter wear, bringing softness, warmth, and timeless elegance to your wardrobe. Sourced from the fine undercoat of cashmere goats, cashmere fibers are thinner, softer, and lighter than wool. These natural qualities give cashmere its warmth, unmatched softness, and ability to keep its shape. Wool fibers, with their coarser scales, tend to interlock and shrink when exposed to water and agitation. By contrast, cashmere is less prone to shrinking or stretching, which makes cashmere sweaters durable, versatile, and ideal for layering in cold weather.

However, it is important to note that because the fibers are so fine and delicate, cashmere can naturally form small pills with wear and friction. This is a normal characteristic of the fiber rather than a flaw. With gentle hand washing using a cashmere-specific detergent and occasional brushing with a cashmere comb, pilling is easy to manage, allowing sweaters to stay smooth, soft, and beautiful over time. Choosing cashmere sweaters means investing in a garment that offers both durability and timeless elegance—making it a smarter choice than wool for women who value quality and longevity in their wardrobe.
