The ultimate luxury and the perfect gift is Cashmere made in Scotland. Our womens cashmere socks and cashmere gloves are available in an irresistible range of colors this season.
Do you know why Cashmere is so special? Well we have wrote a blog dedicated to the topic so you can learn all about it! Basically it comes down to the fibre used, as Cashmere uses the hair of a Cashmere Goat, whereas wool uses the hair of a sheep. They both keep you just as warm, but because the hair of the goat comes from the underlayer of their hair it makes it that extra bit cosier.
Have you ever wondered how we make our soft and cosy cashmere socks? Well wonder no more, as today Anna is joined by Chris, expert in all things cashmere, to give you a run down on the full story, from the history, where cashmere originates and even the production process. It really makes you appreciate your luxurious socks even more, knowing how much attention and detail goes into producing them.
The best cashmere socks are made with 100% cashmere, so they are the ultimate in softness and warmth. High quality cashmere socks are expensive because they are made with the very best fibres, the long underlayers from the cashmere goat. Longer fibres mean less pilling and a longer lasting, better quality product. Cashmere made in Scotland has an international reputation for quality.
Cashmere is a 100% natural product and for breathability and comfort it makes sense to choose wool, whatever the weather. Wool is an active fibre which reacts to the body's temperature so you will never feel too hot or too cold. Cashmere is the ultimate luxury as it is so light and soft making it even more comfortable to wear. Go on treat yourself to a pair of cashmere socks or an accessory in this luxurious fibre.
Cashmere is delicate and should be treated as such. Wash your cashmere socks using a wool or specialist detergent, by hand in cool water. Don't wring them out or they will lose their shape, simply lay them flat away from direct heat and allow your socks to dry naturally. Cashmere has natural antibacterial properties so you will find you don't have to wash your cashmere socks quite as often as synthetic fibres.
