2020 is well underway and cashmere is one fabric that is already leading the market trend this year! Almost everywhere you look you see women draped in cashmere scarfs, capes, stoles and so many more. Why? Because cashmere is a high-quality material that is ageless both in style and texture!

Cashmere is that fabric that you can always rely on to provide you warmth and comfort all year long. This makes it worth every dollar and more. 

So why should you consider investing in cashmere this year? Let’s delve in below!

  1.  Cashmere will keep you warm all year long

Did you know that cashmere wool is two times warmer than sheep’s wool? Its fibers are gotten yearly from the undercoats of cashmere goats that live in ice-cold temperatures in countries like Mongolia. This makes it a reliable material that can keep you toasty warm all through the winter months. 

A single cashmere cape like the Black Watch Cashmere Cape can provide you the warmth that numerous layers of wool would provide you! So when you invest in one piece of cashmere, you can have go-to apparel for the cold all year long.


2. Cashmere is soft and cozy

The winter months are often so cold that our major priority is to keep warm. Unfortunately, there are so many sweaters and coats made with uncomfortable fabrics that switch the focus from being warm, to also being comfortable. 

Luckily cashmere is one fabric that is warm, soft, and cozy. Quality cashmere like the Black Watch Cashmere Stole is made with the perfect diameter of fiber. This makes it feel precious against the skin. Cashmere also usually has a slightly uneven shape that makes the fiber stick to itself instead of the skin, therefore reducing the risk of itchiness. 

3. Cashmere is lightweight

No one really enjoys winter packing. With all the wool coats and cardigans you have to pack up, you’d probably need more suitcases than you would when parking summer outfits! 

Cashmere, however, is much lighter than wool and most synthetic fabrics. So when you invest in cashmere, you don’t just get a very warm outfit, but also a light, easy-to-pack one! And when you need your sweater for short trips or errands outdoors, it can easily fit into your bag once it gets too warm. 

4. Cashmere is durable

One major reason cashmere is considered an investment is its durability. It has very tough fiber that keeps it strong and wearable for 20 years and more! It also has a classic look and feel to it that keeps it trendy year after year. 


5. Cashmere is luxurious

We all deserve a little bit of luxury from time to time and cashmere is one very luxurious fabric! When worn, it’s cozy and soft and from the outside, it makes you look sophisticated. Cashmere can also be folded easily into a bag and will last for many years. All of these features make it a luxurious fabric that you and your loved ones deserve in winter!

So why don’t you invest in cashmere this New Year and enjoy it for many months, and even years, to come? Buy you and your loved ones cashmere from www.edinburghcashmere.co.uk and enjoy all the luxury the lovely fabric offers!

Wool is one of the most popular fabrics used in the home. It’s used in making items like clothes, blankets, saddle blankets, and carpets. And wool is so essential that it comes from different sources. Lambswool, however, is one of the best types of wools out there. 
What is Lambswool? Lambswool is super cozy wool gotten from young sheep. It is characteristically soft, slippery and elastic which makes it perfect for making high-grade textiles. Over the years, Lambswool has garnered publicity – and for good reason! So if you haven’t tried out Lambswool yet, here are 5 reasons you should!

1. It’s breathable

One of the best things about Lambswool is that it’s breathable! When worn, it provides enough space for the right amount of air to seep in, and for heat to seep out. So unlike with most synthetic fabrics, you won’t feel stuffy and itchy after a few hours wearing it. 

Apart from clothing, its breathability also makes it great for beddings, blankets, and carpets. When you drape it over your bed it keeps your room warm enough without being stuffy!

2. It absorbs moisture

Lambswool is super absorbent. It can soak up about thirty percent of its weight in liquid and release it in the day time! So if you get too warm in the night and sweat, your sweat will be absorbed and dissipated in the day time. This ability also makes it a perfect choice for socks, carpet, and beddings because even without frequent washing, your wool won’t stay damp or smelly! 

3. It’s versatile

Versatility is another major reason we are obsessed with Lambswool. With Lambswool, the question isn’t ‘what can be made with it?’. Instead, it’s ‘what can’t be made with Lambswool?’ 

As mentioned earlier, Lambswool can be used to make numerous clothing apparel like cardigans, shirts, skirts, pants, socks, gloves, head warmers, scarves, and so many more! It can also be used for beddings, upholstery, saddle blankets, horse blankets, and insulation. Lambswool can also be used to make both thick fabrics and light fabrics, based on which is desired. 

4. It projects colors beautifully

Lambswool can hold a variety of colors and project them beautifully! It can provide lovely monotones like this Black Lambswool Cape or detailed multi-colors like this Anderson Lambswool Scarf. So you don’t have to settle for a specific color type when you desire a variety. 

Also, quality Lambswool holds color for lengthy periods so you can wear Lambswool attires and use it for your interior decors for years! 

5. It is hypoallergenic

Most synthetic fabrics trigger allergies like rashes or itchiness. Lambswool, however, does not! It is soft, even on very sensitive skin types, and does not aggravate health issues like asthma. Its hypoallergenic feature makes it perfect for upholstery because it will accommodate any and everyone visiting your home! To enjoy all the benefits of Lambswool, it is pertinent that you only buy the best. Get your Lambswool from Edinburgh Cashmere to enjoy all of these features mentioned above!
