Pure cashmere or a merino blend

Cashmere cardigans in this range are knitted either in pure Mongolian cashmere or in cashmere blended with merino. Pure cashmere gives the softest handle, and the blends add durability.

Pure Mongolian cashmere

Pure cashmere cardigans use Mongolian fibre, chosen for its quality and durability as much as its softness. The yarn holds warmth at a low weight, so the cardigan is warm without feeling heavy. Our experience is that this cashmere holds its quality and resists pilling with proper care. Edge-to-edge and button-to-neck cardigans sit alongside a Bridge & Lord zip jacket.

Merino and cashmere blends

A blend of merino and cashmere balances cashmere softness against merino durability. Merino holds the garment's shape and gives a firmer handle, while cashmere keeps the surface soft. The result is a knit that feels more structured than pure cashmere and suits everyday wear. Longline cardigans with side splits and pockets sit here alongside classic button through styles. The blended cardigans are also listed on the women's merino and cashmere blend page.

Common questions

Why does a cashmere cardigan cost more than a merino one?
A cashmere cardigan costs more because cashmere is a premium natural fibre, exceptionally soft and warm. The fibre is sourced from Mongolia. Blending merino and cashmere sits between the two on price, and 131 pieces knitted in that blend are listed on Merino and cashmere. Merino or cashmere: how to choose has the yield figures behind that gap.
How should a cashmere cardigan be washed?
Cashmere that is not cared for properly can lose its softness, shrink or lose its shape. The garment's own care instructions take precedence. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat. The wash steps are set out in How to wash cashmere without ruining it.

Pilling is the formation of fuzzy balls on the surface of wool clothing, sometimes called bobbling, according to The Woolmark Company. No one can guarantee that pilling will not occur, The Woolmark Company adds. See Why knitwear pills and how to fix it for the full explanation.
