Merino and cashmere

A merino and cashmere blend takes the softness of cashmere and pairs it with merino durability. This hub holds every garment tagged as a blend of the two fibres, including Merino and Cashmere Jumpers, cardigans, vests, dresses and lounge pants. Pure merino pieces and pure cashmere pieces are excluded and each has its own hub. The fibre content for any one garment is stated on its product page.

Why the ratio matters

What a shopper is choosing between inside this hub is how much cashmere softness they want against how much merino toughness they need. Two garments that look similar wear quite differently depending on where the blend falls, and the split is written on the garment's own page and its care label.

Softness meets durability

Cashmere brings softness and light warmth. Merino brings strength and breathability. A blend sits between the two on comfort, on weight and on the price ladder. Different garments use different ratios, so one blend jumper leans soft and warm while another leans tougher and cooler. The exact split is on every garment's own page and on its sewn in label.

The blend garment range

The merino and cashmere blend category covers pullovers, cardigans, vests, dresses and lounge pants. Most pieces skew to a women's fit, with a real men's group that runs across the same garment shapes. The appeal is a middle ground where a wearer gets some of the cashmere feel without the full cashmere care routine or price.

Common questions

Is cashmere and wool a good blend?
A cashmere and wool blend balances the softness of cashmere against the durability and practicality of merino. It costs less than pure cashmere and asks less careful handling day to day. The feel depends heavily on the ratio used in that particular garment. See Merino or cashmere: how to choose for more.
Is 70% wool and 30% cashmere good?
The store does not claim that any of its garments use that exact split. As the cashmere share rises the garment gets softer and costs more. A higher merino share brings greater durability and practicality, and the price comes down. The fibre content for every piece is written on its own product page and care label. Pilling is covered in Why knitwear pills and how to fix it.
Which is better, cashmere or merino?
Cashmere gives more softness and light warmth, merino more toughness and a lower price. A blend splits the difference. The better fibre is the one that matches what a shopper wants from the garment they will wear most often. Merino or cashmere: how to choose goes through what each one gives up.
