We all know that cashmere clothing luxury high-grade, cashmere clothing warm performance, but a considerable part of the cashmere clothing may still have some misunderstandings, let’s look at the cashmere clothing, we have what misunderstandings.
Misconception 1: cashmere can only be worn in winter.
Everyone on the cashmere sweater is usually furry, warm feeling, so cashmere can only be worn in winter, this is actually misunderstood. In fact, we have the impression that the woolly cashmere sweater commonly known as coarse spinning, warmth is very good, indeed more suitable for winter wear. But another process known as ‘worsted’, with finer yarn to spin cashmere sweater, it is very suitable for spring, summer and autumn seasons to wear.
The thickness of worsted cashmere is especially suitable for spring and autumn, it is really soft and sticky to the point that you don’t even want to take it off when you put it on. Especially in a little cold early spring or late autumn, we can wear the cashmere bottom shirt inside, you will find the original cashmere is so comfortable.
Misconception 2: Pilling cashmere is bad quality.
Many friends think that good cashmere is not puckering, but the truth is that cashmere is bound to puckering. Because cashmere spinning after weaving into a jumper, need to go through a washing process, to wash the hand feel very soft, then often friction parts will be prone to knots (puckering).
Therefore, cashmere sweater pilling is a normal phenomenon, daily wear good care, use the ball remover can remove the wool ball, restore the original.
Misconception 3: Worsted cashmere sweater is only good cashmere.
Many people think that only worsted cashmere sweater is good cashmere, this view is also wrong. Because the design of a cashmere sweater needs to use different yarns to match the style of the clothes, so the yarn thickness is not a factor that determines whether the cashmere sweater is good or bad, the thickness can only determine the style of the cashmere sweater.
When actually selecting, recognise the material, not the thickness, and don’t be overly superstitious about worsted cashmere.
Misconception 4: The best cashmere in the world comes from Italy.
Italy is home to some of the most recognisable cashmere brands in the world (and of course very expensive), so many people think that the best cashmere in the world should come from Italy. In fact, Italy only produces its own cashmere clothing. The world’s best cashmere production areas come from Inner Mongolia, China, and several of the world’s best cashmere yarn suppliers are also in China, such as Consinee, Zdtex, UPW, etc. Most of the world’s luxury cashmere brands are from Italy. Most of the world’s cashmere luxury brand cashmere raw materials are also sourced from China.
Misconception 5: The larger the pile, the softer the feel.
When selecting cashmere sweater, many friends will think that the larger the velvet, the softer the feel, which is actually also a misunderstanding.
Cashmere sweaters really don’t need to be very big when it comes to picking out the fleece, because overcombing will stretch the fibres and it will tend to lead to deformation and pilling. Anyway, a moderately plush craft is much less prone to pilling and better cared for for everyday wear.
Misconception 6: the thicker the cashmere sweater, the more expensive.
Many initial contact with cashmere friends will think that cashmere is the thicker the better, the thicker the more expensive. In fact, this is a misunderstanding, really good thin worsted cashmere is actually more expensive.
The thickness of cashmere depends on the thickness of the yarn and the number of strands. Worsted yarns have higher requirements for the original fleece indexes, lower success rate of spinning, longer processing time, and of course higher costs. Therefore, cashmere is not the thicker the better.
Misconception 7: cashmere can not be washed, must be dry cleaned.
Because cashmere is usually not cheap, so many friends feel that cashmere should be carefully cared for, washing and care is very difficult, can not wash, in fact, this is a misunderstanding.
For the vast majority of cashmere sweaters, we can safely hand wash. To operate, wash in cool water below 30 degrees, then pour in a neutral detergent, avoid rubbing and wringing hard, and just gently scratch and knead with your hands. After washing, gently dry it, and then just lay it flat to dry.
Well, these are 7 common misconceptions about cashmere clothing, how many have you hit?
