El cashmere

The cashmere we use comes from selected farms located in the steppes of Mongolia. Only there, you can find cold and dry enough temperatures needed for their hair to grow long and smooth on the goats. We select the longest and finest hairs from them in order  to obtain optimum quality and only then our adventure as manufacturers begin. Thats the first of the 20 processes needed before the sweaters reach our stores. Thoroughness in the process of  fibers selection is essential, since the final result of the finished garments greatly depend on it.

Contrary to the general belief about cashmere, “The thicker the better”, the quality of a cashmere garment depends 90% on the length, purity and thickness of the chosen fibers and, as in all other raw materials, the better these are, the more expensive they become …

The thickness of a cashmere garment is based solely on the gauge and yarn count that is chosen to knit. Although it is not better while thicker, it is definitely warmer.

After much work and research, we have learned the best way to knit and dye cashmere, the most insulating, resistant and delicious natural fiber kwon to us. That’s the reason why our knitwear is not only light and soft, but also maintains the shape and quality of the garment for many years.

Pilling is a natural process by which small knots or balls are formed on the surface of the garments. There is no effective remedy to avoid pilling because the effect of the fabric is caused by the lifting of the fibers that make up the fabric when rubbing occurs. The pilling formed in the cashmere garments comes off just by pulling them gently. At Again Cashmere we have specific combs for this process.

The washing method recommended to extend life of our sweaters with a specific cashmere soap, would be:

Hand wash: Put the garment in warm water and add a small amount of soap. Gently drain excess water, stretch the cashmere while it is still wet and dry on a flat surface.Machine Wash: Use only if machine has hand wash or delicate cycle. Use a short spin. NEVER use a dryer. Stretch while the garment is still wet by letting it dry on a flat surface.
