Cashmere Silk Pointelle Cardigan
Fabric
Blended from 75% cashmere and 25% silk, this refined knit combines the soft warmth of cashmere with the smooth, delicate feel of silk. The fine knit construction has a soft hand and elegant drape, creating a comfortable and luxurious layer for transitional weather and cooler-season dressing.
Design
Delicate scalloped trim adds a feminine finish to this classic cardigan silhouette, while intricate pointelle detailing creates a lace-like openwork texture throughout the knit. The finely worked pattern brings subtle dimension and visual interest, giving the cardigan a romantic yet refined character. Thoughtful edging and delicate knitwork elevate the timeless silhouette without making it feel overly ornate.
Function
An elegant layering piece for both everyday and more polished looks, this cashmere silk cardigan pairs effortlessly with silk camisoles, blouses, dresses, tailored trousers, and skirts. Wear it buttoned as a refined knit top or open as a versatile cardigan layer. The delicate pointelle texture makes it especially suited to transitional seasons, weekends, travel, and elevated everyday dressing.
Care Instructions
To ensure your cashmere sweater retains its softness, shape, and longevity, please follow these simple care guidelines:
- Washing: Hand wash separately in cold water using a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics or cashmere. Gently swirl the garment and avoid rubbing, twisting, or wringing.
- Drying: Never tumble dry. After washing, gently press out excess water by rolling the sweater in a clean, dry towel. Lay it flat on a fresh towel away from direct sunlight or heat to air dry, reshaping it to its original dimensions.
- Ironing: If needed, use a steam iron on the lowest heat setting. Avoid placing the iron directly on the fabric; instead, use a pressing cloth or steam gently without contact.
- Storage: Store your clean, completely dry cashmere folded in a cool, dry place. To protect it from moths, consider using natural cedar wood blocks or lavender sachets.
With proper care, your cashmere sweater will remain a cherished wardrobe staple for years to come.

Why Choose Cashmere?
At DAISYSILK, we’ve always explored premium, skin-friendly, and sustainably sourced fabrics crafted from natural fibers. While silk remains our hallmark of luxury, cashmere offers a complementary choice for cozy and refined fall and winter wear, bringing softness, warmth, and timeless elegance to your wardrobe.
Sourced from the fine undercoat of cashmere goats, cashmere fibers are thinner, softer, and lighter than wool. These natural qualities give cashmere its warmth, unmatched softness, and ability to keep its shape. Wool fibers, with their coarser scales, tend to interlock and shrink when exposed to water and agitation. By contrast, cashmere is less prone to shrinking or stretching, which makes cashmere sweaters durable, versatile, and ideal for layering in cold weather.
However, it is important to note that because the fibers are so fine and delicate, cashmere can naturally form small pills with wear and friction. This is a normal characteristic of the fiber rather than a flaw. With gentle hand washing using a cashmere-specific detergent and occasional brushing with a cashmere comb, pilling is easy to manage, allowing sweaters to stay smooth, soft, and beautiful over time. Choosing cashmere sweaters means investing in a garment that offers both durability and timeless elegance—making it a smarter choice than wool for women who value quality and longevity in their wardrobe.
How To Style Cashmere Sweaters
For cashmere sweaters, we recommend a minimalist approach, favoring high or crew necklines in solid colors such as black, white, gray, and camel for timeless elegance. Introducing vibrant colors can bring a fresh, invigorating touch to your wardrobe. Many customers find that pure cashmere sweaters become long-lasting favorites, worn for several years with proper care. Investing in premium materials means you don’t need to replace them frequently, and they can stay in excellent condition for years.
