Wool & Cashmere for Women

Soft knits made for many winters

Wool and cashmere for women, chosen to last

A good knit is one of the few garments that gets better with time. Here we have gathered our women's knitwear in wool, wool-cashmere and merino: soft enough to wear straight on the skin, warm without bulk and made to be worn for many winters.

Which material should you choose?

  • Wool-cashmere: the softest option. Cashmere adds a light, almost fluffy feel, while wool gives the knit structure and durability.
  • Merino wool: fine fibres that regulate temperature, breathe and resist odour. Double-knitted merino gives a dense, warm knit that keeps its shape.
  • Pure wool: the most robust choice, for sweaters and coats that should handle everyday wear year after year.

Our wool and cashmere favourites

Rhea's wool-cashmere pieces cover the essentials: a crew neck, a V-neck, a cardigan, a fine-knit t-shirt and soft wool-cashmere trousers. Rhea's double-knitted merino turtlenecks are the warmest in the range, and MeiMeij adds pure wool sweaters with distinct details, like a poplin insert or an overlap front. See all Rhea and MeiMeij.

How to care for wool and cashmere

  • Air instead of washing. Wool is naturally odour-resistant. Often it is enough to hang the knit outside or in a steamy bathroom.
  • Hand wash or use the wool programme at a maximum of 30°C, with a wool detergent.
  • Dry flat, never on a hanger and never in the tumble dryer, so the knit keeps its shape.
  • Remove pilling with a cashmere comb. A little pilling is natural in the beginning and decreases over time.

How to style it

Pair a fine-knit cashmere sweater with tailored trousers for the office, or wear a chunky turtleneck with a skirt and boots on weekends. Knits also layer easily over our basics and under coats and jackets.

Frequently asked questions

Is cashmere warmer than wool?

Cashmere is often warmer than regular wool for the same weight, and softer. A wool-cashmere blend gives you the softness of cashmere with the durability of wool.

Does wool itch?

Fine wool such as merino and wool-cashmere is soft enough to wear directly against the skin. Coarser wool can feel scratchy, which is why we focus on finer qualities.

How do I wash a cashmere sweater?

Hand wash or use the wool programme at a maximum of 30°C with a wool detergent, then dry flat. Often it is enough to air the sweater between wears.

Why does my knit pill?

Pilling is natural in soft fibres like cashmere, especially at first. Remove it with a cashmere comb; it decreases as the loose fibres disappear.
