How
to Choose Cashmere?
Your fingers are very good judges. If a
cashmere sweater does not feel smooth, soft, and luxurious, don't buy
it. A good cashmere sweater should also feel hefty and substantial,
even if it is a lightweight garment. There are five main factors that
contribute to the quality and price of a cashmere sweater:
Density: Loosely knit, limp fabric is the
hallmark of a cheaply made sweater. Pull the sides of the sweater apart
and then let them go. The sweater should snap back to its original
shape.
Texture: Finer cashmere is softer and
therefore more expensive than coarser cashmere. Feel the sweater with
your fingertips, they are very sensitive and you will easily be able to
spot a sweater that has been cheapened by using coarse fiber.
Color: Dying harms the feel of the cashmere.
Less dye equals better feel. By starting the dye process with the
whiter cashmere that comes from China, less dye is needed to achieve
the many colors of our sweaters.
Fiber Length: Longer fiber makes stronger yarn
that pills less. Pilling is caused by the abrasion of short fibers into
small balls on the surface of the fabric. Some pilling will occur in
most new sweaters, but the problem will not persist in a good garment
after the first cleaning. Lower quality manufacturers use shorter fiber
because it is cheaper.
Ply: Two-ply yarn is better than
single ply because the ply twist offsets the torque inherent in a
single yarn. Sweater designers often use additional plies to add weight
and color options, but these extra plies add no additional quality.
The above factors help to explain why similar looking cashmere sweaters
have very different prices. At beisica.com we offer only the
highest quality cashmere garments, so you may enjoy them for many years
to come.
