Women's 100% Cashmere Cardigan Sweater

Every woman needs a cozy, stylish pullover to pair perfectly with jeans, trousers, skirts, and more. This substantial 12 gauge knit with tightly twisted 2-ply yarns fits true to size and will complement any wardrobe. Our Grade A cashmere, sourced from Inner Mongolia (home to one of the world's oldest domesticated livestock - the cashmere goat), is lovingly collected to create the softest wardrobe staples made to last a lifetime.

At State Cashmere, we promise to empower our shepherds, bring you luxurious cashmere fashion for less with no middleman, and practice consistent sustainability so you can build a premium capsule wardrobe that will last you a lifetime. Unlike most cashmere brands in the fashion industry, we work directly with the shepherds from Inner Mongolia - these are trusted relationships, and we will never work with middlemen, cashmere traders or brokers.

Our commitment to no blends and no excess packaging intentionally supports your comfort and the environment. Dry clean or hand wash only. Wash your cashmere clothing gently with warm water and dry flat to prevent stretch. Fold and keep safe in a cool, dark, dry place. Use a pilling comb to keep each piece silky smooth for years to come!

Cashmere is actually a type of wool, but only the finest and softest fiber combed from the undercoats of a certain kind of goats - Cashmere Goat can call CASHMERE. Otherwise, the rest of them are all just WOOL. Each cashmere goat typically produces just 150 g of fibers, and it takes approximately 4-5 adult-sized goats to make one 100% cashmere sweater. Part of what makes cashmere so exclusive is because it is only harvested from goats once a year.

Pilling is a natural occurrence in cashmere and is usually caused by friction. Follow the cashmere care steps to take care of your sweaters properly. Hand washing your cashmere sweater will actually make it softer over time. We recommend using baby shampoo, it works like a magic! It's best to store your cashmere in a box with cedar mothballs or chips as opposed to hanging it up. Hanging your cashmere for long periods of time can change its shape. The ideal area for storage should be a cool, dark, and dry place.

Remove pilling with a pilling comb, sweater stone, or other depiller to gently brush these fluffballs away. Start with a clean sink or basin, and fill it with lukewarm water. Pour in a gentle shampoo, mild soap, or a fine garment detergent. Dunk your cashmere garment in the lukewarm soapy water. Gently massage. Create suds with your hands. Now let it soak for 30 mins. After this, take your cashmere piece out of the soapy water and put it into another bowl of clean water to "rinse". Now gently squeeze to remove out the excess water. Lay down flat on a clean, dry, white towel. Place the cashmere in its original shape on the towel. Gently roll up the garment and towel together, pressing to squeeze out any excess water as needed. Unwrap the towel and lay flat to finish drying.
