At Luella our Cashmere Blend knitwear is manufactured in Italy with Italian yarn. All of our yarns contain up to 30% cashmere, and are blended with either merino wool, or a blend of merino wool and bamboo. The bamboo blended yarn is manufactured especially for us and is exclusive to Luella in the UK.
To ensure our knitwear has a robustness and longevity that doesn’t always come with 100% cashmere, we add up to 10% synthetic fibre to our yarns, which might be polyamide or the metallic lurex yarn that features in many of our styles. Whatever the blend of the yarn, Luella cashmere blend knitwear always has a luxurious quality and feel.
In order to ensure a perfect wear each time it’s important to take care of your garment.
We recommend washing Luella knitwear by hand using a detergent designed for cashmere, wool or delicate fabrics. Baby shampoo can be a great, gentle alternative. You can also launder your Luella knitwear on a hand wash cycle in the washing machine at no more than 30 degrees. For best results place the knitwear in a laundry net and don’t spin at more than 700rpm. Never wring your cashmere garment – lay it out flat on a towel and gently ease it into shape before rolling it up in the towel to squeeze out any excess water. Then lay it out flat on a drying rack or a clean towel.
Whichever method you choose to wash your cashmere, it’s always a good idea to gently de-pill your garment with a cashmere comb before washing it. Cashmere and wool are always prone to pilling – this is nothing to do with the quality of the product, but more to do with wearing it. And if you love it, you’ll wear it often! Pilling is a natural process caused when the fibres in the yarn rub against each other and form small balls. De-pilling your garment regularly will improve its appearance and maintain its longevity. And to ensure your garment keeps it shape, it’s best to store it folded.
Whether you’ve purchased sequined knitwear or sequined linens or cottons, we advise that they should be washed inside out at no more than 30 degrees. If you’re putting them in the washing machine, we recommend using a laundry net to avoid any inadvertent snagging of the sequins on other items of clothing. These garments are made using recycled polyester sequins.
Linens and cottons are natural fibres and can have a tendency to shrink if washed in water that is too hot. We recommend machine washing at no more than 30 degrees with a gentle detergent. If your linen is either dark in colour, or bright and vibrant, a cold wash will ensure the colours don’t fade.
Viscose and rayon are natural fibres and can have a tendency to shrink if washed in water that is too hot. We recommend machine washing at no more than 30 degrees on a hand wash cycle with a gentle detergent. If your garment is delicate turn it inside out and place it in a laundry net.
Crafted in timeless styles, our classic women’s cashmere sweaters come in vibrant but versatile colours that will look great as part of any outfit. Our quality cashmere blend is known for its warmth and durability, while being breathable and light. Explore our online store for our full range of cashmere blend jumpers and tank tops. Please see below for answers to our most frequently asked questions. If you don’t see your question here, please reach out to our friendly team who will be happy to advise. Contact us by phone or email.
When you find a cashmere jumper you love, you want to wear it every day – and that means it needs to be wearable all year round. We’d say your best option would be a long-sleeve cashmere jumper with a relatively light knit.
That way, you can wear it over a T-shirt and under a coat in winter, or just over a vest in the summer, although cashmere is gentle enough to wear against the skin if you prefer. We sell our medium-weight Classic Star Jumpers all year round, so our customers agree!
Winter fashion is obviously about keeping warm, but it’s important that your clothing is breathable and, of course, that it looks fantastic.
In our opinion, the winter winner is cashmere blend jumpers. Our women’s sweaters are designed in the UK and made in Italy, with light wool with good insulation, but it’s also naturally breathable so you’ll stay fresh. You can wear a cotton T-shirt underneath it when you really need to wrap it up, but it’s perfect for indoor and outdoor wear in the cooler months.
You can wash a cashmere item of clothing, but you must take greater care when compared to washing clothing items made of materials such as cotton. We recommend that Luella cashmere blend items of clothing are washed by hand (or a 30-degree maximum hand wash cycle in the washing machine), which ensures that there is no shrinkage or damage to the item.
Our cotton knit jumpers and jersey T-shirts can be put in the washing machine at medium temperature. As for cashmere blends, we recommend handwashing in lukewarm water with a very gentle soap (some people use baby shampoo instead of washing powder).
Then, let it air-dry on a flat rack – don’t hang it up. There’s specific washing information on each garment page – just click “Garment care” – and on the clothing labels. Also, refer to our articles on dry cleaning and ironing cashmere for more information.
Cashmere is nature’s insulation, and its primary function is warmth. It achieves this by having a microscopic structure that traps warm air between its fibres. This cushion of air slows the speed at which heat leaves your body, and since you’re always producing heat, that’s enough to keep you toasty warm. In addition, the fabric is highly breathable, lightweight, silky soft and versatile. Read more on why cashmere jumpers are great in the UK’s chilly winter months here.
Properly storing and maintaining Luella cashmere jumpers and sweaters is key to preserving the unique properties and original quality of the garment. After laying flat to dry as advised, fold your jumpers and sweaters (don’t hang!) to avoid them stretching and losing shape. Avoid pulling at loose yarn and remove any pilling on your cashmere with a cashmere comb or shaving machine.
If you don’t plan on using your cashmere for an extended period of time, place your garments inside dust bags or sealable garment bags with moth balls or lavender inside to prevent moths.
Cashmere is an ultra-soft fibre that can be taken from any type of goat, but the finest, most sought-after cashmere is made from the hair of a certain type of goat, native to the Gobi Desert and Central Asia. It’s combed from the fleecy underbelly using a very natural process in the springtime when the goats start to shed their winter coats. Fibres are dyed, blended with other colours and/or fibres, combed into thin sheets, spun into yarn, and woven into the fabric’s colour and pattern. Read more about cashmere’s history and qualities in our Complete Guide to Cashmere blog.
