The Benefits of Cashmere

Cashmere is one of the most luxurious and sought after fabrics around. It has a few unique properties that justifies for its premium price which we will discuss below.

1. Sustainability

Cashmere is sustainable compared to alternative synthetic materials. As cashmere fibres are derived from the hair of cashmere goats and grows back seasonally, so the process can be repeated. Also, goats get combed once a year, which is completely harmless to the goats. Here at Loop, we ensure that our yarn supplier is certified by the Good Cashmere Standard, protecting the animals, workers, and the environment.

2. Comfort

Cashmere is well-known for its luxurious comfort. The softness of this fabric comes from the undercoat of the goats, which are super-fine, leaving cashmere wool smooth and undeniably soft against the skin. Browse our collection of cashmere coatigans and treat yourself to some luxury.

Cashmere is a natural fibre that is lacking in lanolin, it is hypo allergenic and never itchy to wear. Feel supremely comfortable whilst wearing your Loop cashmere cardigan.

3. Warmth

At Loop, our cashmere fibres come from the goats that roam the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. Winter temperatures drop as low as –40 degrees here, as a result, the fibres are extra-long, providing great insulating properties. Cashmere is super soft and warm compared to other fabrics and is eight times warmer than regular wool. We use the fibre from at least four goats to make a single sweater, providing you with warmth, without bulky and heavy layers.

4. Breathability

Even though cashmere is incredibly warm and cozy, cashmere is also breathable and lightweight, due to the soft and fine fibres. It has the amazing ability to regulate your body temperature. Cashmere is also hygroscopic, which means it absorbs and releases water vapor water as humidity fluctuates. Therefore, preventing you from overheating, so you can wear it all year round!

5. Durability

Cashmere fibres are stronger and more resilient than other materials, retaining their shape more easily. Here at Loop, we ensure all products are designed to stand the test of time.
