Softer than wool sourced from sheep, when skillfully woven into a garment, cashmere yields some of the most comfortable clothing you will ever wear. A great cashmere sweater is one of the best garments for a wide range of climates and occasions.
The luxury fabric is usually associated with high cost, and while that’s usually true, there are plenty of wallet-friendly cashmere sweaters that won’t break the bank. That’s often the case because the cashmere is blended with lower-cost materials like merino wool, silk, or cotton. (Cashmere is rarely blended with synthetic fibers like polyester, FYI, though it does happen occasionally.)
