How to Store Your Cashmere?

How to Store Your Cashmere?

Fortunately, because you can wear cashmere in any season, you probably won’t let your cashmere sweater get too far out of sight. However, if you do store your garment, make sure it is clean. Contrary to popular belief, moths are attracted to stained or soiled garments, not to the cashmere sweater itself.

For your convenience, store your cashmere garment using a garment bag.

Keep in mind that you want to repel moths, not poison yourself. So try some of nature’s own tried & true methods: cloves, lavender, rosemary, thyme, dried orange peel or cedar.

To avoid staining, always wrap any of these items in a sachet or, simply tie in a handkerchief.

The Price of Cashmere

The Price of Cashmere




The harsh geography of this area of the Gobi Desert supports a very limited number of goats. It takes one of these rare goats four years to grow enough cashmere for one sweater. Each goat is combed by hand every spring. Then the fleece is collected and sorted by hand. Cashmere sweaters are usually knit on hand-operated machines. Therefore, the scarcity of the fiber and the handwork required to convert that fiber into a luxurious garment both contribute to cashmere’s price.



There are significant differences in the quality of cashmere, and therefore, the price of the fiber that can be used in a cashmere garment. There are variations in the fineness of the cashmere from various origins. There are also more subtle variations within origins. Finer cashmere is more expensive than coarser cashmere. Color also plays a role. The whiter, more expensive fiber needs less dye to color it. Dying harms the feel of the cashmere so this is important. Cashmere fiber is also priced by its length. Longer fiber is more expensive because it makes stronger yarn that pills less. All of these variables play a role in the cost variation between seemingly similar garments. Usually you get what you pay for.
