Blended

Our sweaters in wool and cashmere: hoodies, half zips, crewnecks, polo sweaters and a zip cardigan. The wool makes the sweater strong and helps it keep its shape, the cashmere makes it soft. A good middle road between pure cashmere and pure merino, both in feel and in price.

Frequently asked questions

Wool and cashmere or pure cashmere?

Wool and cashmere if the sweater will be worn often, pure cashmere if you want the softest and warmest. The 90 % merino wool in the blend holds the knit together, so a wool cashmere hoodie or half zip takes more wear and washing than a Royal Cashmere sweater. You still get cashmere at the neck and wrists, where you feel it most.

What is the difference between 90/10 and 70/30?

The amount of cashmere, and with it softness and warmth. 90/10 is 90 % merino wool and 10 % cashmere, the everyday knit we use for the hoodies, half zips, polo sweaters and chunky crewnecks. 70/30 has three times the cashmere, so the zip cardigan and the vest in it are softer and warmer, and a little more delicate. For a sweater you wear hard, take 90/10.

Does a wool and cashmere sweater pill?

A little in the first weeks, mostly where the cuffs rub, then it stops. The merino wool holds the knit together, so our 90/10 sweaters pill less than pure cashmere. Comb off any pills with a wool comb rather than pulling them, air the sweater between wears and wash it rarely. After the first month the surface settles and stays smooth.

Does a wool and cashmere sweater itch?

No. The wool in our blends is extra fine merino, with fibres fine enough to bend against the skin instead of poking it, and the cashmere makes the surface smoother still. A wool cashmere half zip or hoodie can be worn over bare skin or a t-shirt. If you know you react to wool at the neck, a plain t-shirt underneath is all it takes.

Wool and cashmere sweaters for men: hoodies, half zips, crewnecks, polos and cardigans

Everything on this page is knitted in a blend of merino wool and cashmere. Most pieces are 90 % merino wool and 10 % cashmere: the wool cashmere hoodies, the half zips and the polo sweaters in a 12 gauge plain knit, and the chunky crewnecks in 7 gauge. A few have more cashmere, 70 % wool and 30 % cashmere, among them the zip cardigan and the vest on the polo sweaters and vests page. The merino gives the knit its strength and keeps the shape, the cashmere gives the softness you feel at the neck and wrists. Both yarns are two ply. The exact blend is listed on every product. Designed in Stockholm and sold in our store on Grev Turegatan.

Why a blend, and which piece for which day

A sweater in pure cashmere is the softest and warmest, and it wears fastest at the cuffs and elbows. A sweater in pure merino is the toughest and lightest. A blend sits between them: softer than merino, and it holds up to more wear and washing than cashmere. It is the sweater for the man who wants cashmere against the skin and plans to use it every week. The 90/10 knit is the everyday version. The Wool Cashmere Half Zip goes under a coat to the office and over a t-shirt at the weekend, and the Wool Cashmere Hoodie is the Sunday sweater that still looks like knitwear. The 70/30 pieces have three times the cashmere and are the softer and warmer ones, for the cold months and for evenings. Take the chunky 7 gauge crewneck for January and the 12 gauge pieces for the rest of the year.

Fit and care

Regular fit that sits close without being tight, so choose your usual size. Wash on a wool programme at 30 degrees or by hand, close the zip first, dry flat and store it folded. The tumble dryer is what shrinks and felts wool, so skip it. A little pilling in the first weeks where the cuffs rub is normal, and a wool comb removes it. After that the surface settles.
