Light Cashmere
Essential items in every daily look,
from early autumn days to cool summer evenings.
A must-have to collect in the most delicate shades
and to be superimposed to create delicate but decisive look;
a layering that does not give up comfort.
We call these seasonless garments because they keep us fresh when it’s hot outside and warm when temperatures drop.
Warm in winter, cool in summer.
Cashmere is a noble fibre that acts as a thermal insulator, naturally capable of thermo-regulating the body with respect to the external climate, protecting it from both high and low temperatures. Being a natural yarn, it allows the skin to breathe and keep cool.
How fine is light cashmere?
Light cashmere is worked on 33 gauge looms. The term gauge refers to the number of stitches per inch. The higher the gauge number, the finer the sweater.
Therefore, the 33 gauge loom creates an extremely light workmanship for a high-value result, achieved thanks to the half a century of experience of our craftsmen. The yarn used is an extra-fine 2/48000 cashmere. The name 2/48000 derives from the construction of the thread: to make 1 kg of 2/48000 cashmere yarn you need 2 threads 48000 mt (48km) long twisted together. This gives the measure of how thin the yarn used is, i.e., 96km of yarn per 1kg of cashmere.
Cashmere-silk, a precious yarn
Cashmere-silk is a blend with exceptional characteristics, ideal for the summer. When silk, the most precious fibre in nature, meets cashmere, the best of fine wools, a refined yarn of unique and inimitable quality is born. The result: an unparalleled feeling of softness and comfort.

The softest lightness, a charm to wear in any season.
Washing and care
The quality light cashmere is not only the finest, softest, and warmest yarn in nature but also the most durable. If properly maintained, it can last for decades.
- Hand washing or dry cleaning is always preferable; the water should never exceed thirty degrees, as too much heat can cause the sweater to shrink.
- After adding a tablespoon of specific gentle detergent, immerse the garment inside out in the water, and do not soak for more than ten minutes.
- Rinse your cashmere with cool water, being careful not to rub it. Avoid wringing it out as it may lose its shape.
- Lay the garment flat on a clean towel, gently roll the ends to remove excess water.
- Lay your cashmere in its natural shape on another towel or drying rack.
- Avoid hanging it as the weave may distort. When the garment is completely dry, fold it and store it in the wardrobe. Some strict experts suggest letting it rest for at least twenty-four hours before wearing it again.
