The Defining Characteristic: A Brushed Finish Fabric

The signature quality of brushed cashmere lies in its gentle finishing process. After the garment is fully-fashioned, knitted to shape to eliminate waste with Japanese technique, the surface undergoes careful brushing that lifts individual fibers to create a subtle halo effect. This technique produces a fuzzy knit texture that catches light beautifully while delivering a cloud-like softness that must be felt to be understood.

The result is dimensionally richer than traditional cashmere, with a slightly more substantial hand feel that still maintains breathability. Unlike heavier knits that can feel restrictive, these pieces offer warmth without weight, making them ideal as premium knitwear for transitional seasons.

Essential Pieces: From Everyday Comfort to Statement Layers

The collection's versatility becomes clear when you consider its range:

Brushed cashmere sweaters serve as your new baseline for daily luxury—perfect for weekend mornings or polished enough for virtual meetings
Brushed cashmere cardigans function as the ultimate layering piece, offering structure and warmth that transitions seamlessly from office to evening
Lightweight options provide just enough coverage for cool summer nights, while denser knits become your trusted companions throughout fall and winter

Each silhouette maintains clean lines and thoughtful proportions, ensuring these aren't trend-driven pieces but rather wardrobe foundations designed for years of wear.

Considered Design and Conscious Craftsmanship with Naked Cashmere

The enduring quality of a Naked Cashmere piece is rooted in our sustainable and ethical practices. Every brushed cashmere knit is fully-fashioned, knitted to its precise shape before its panels are linked together. This meticulous method eliminates the fabric waste common in traditional cut-and-sew manufacturing and results in more durable, refined seams.

This commitment to conscious luxury includes:

Cruelty-Free Sourcing: Our cashmere is collected by hand-combing free-roaming goats during their natural molting season, a practice that is gentle on the animals and the environment.
Factory-Direct Transparency: By partnering directly with certified factories, we ensure fair trade standards and maintain complete control over quality, offering you unparalleled luxury at a better value.

Versatile Styling: The relaxed silhouette of a brushed cashmere cardigan layers beautifully over one of our fluid silk tops, while a sweater pairs perfectly with everything from denim to tailored trousers. For a lighter feel, explore our featherweight cashmere collection.

What makes cashmere ideal for sleepwear compared to silk or cotton?

Brushed cashmere undergoes an additional finishing process where the fabric surface is gently brushed to raise the fibers, creating a softer, slightly fuzzy texture with more visual depth. While both use the same grade-A fibers, the brushed finish delivers an even more luxurious tactile experience.

Is brushed cashmere warmer than standard cashmere?

Brushed cashmere typically provides slightly more warmth due to the raised fibers that trap air more effectively. However, it maintains excellent breathability, making it comfortable across a wider temperature range than you might expect from such a plush fabric.

How do I care for brushed cashmere garments?

Hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent specifically designed for delicate fibers, or use a professional dry cleaner experienced with luxury knitwear. Lay flat to dry, reshape gently while damp, and store folded—never on hangers—to maintain the garment's structure and brushed finish.

Will brushed cashmere pill more than regular cashmere?

All cashmere can develop pills with friction, but high-quality brushed cashmere is no more prone to pilling than standard cashmere. Any pills that do form can be gently removed with a cashmere comb, and pilling typically decreases after the first few wears as loose fibers are naturally shed.

How does brushed cashmere compare to blended fabrics like cotton-cashmere?

While cotton-cashmere blends offer excellent durability and structure for warmer weather, brushed cashmere delivers unparalleled softness and warmth. Each has distinct advantages: blends for active wear and easy care, pure brushed cashmere for maximum luxury and cold-weather comfort.

What's the best way to remove wrinkles from brushed cashmere?

Use a handheld steamer held several inches away from the fabric, or hang the garment in a steamy bathroom. Avoid direct iron contact, as heat can flatten the brushed texture. Most wrinkles will naturally relax when the garment is stored properly folded.
