Cashmere Sweaters

Quince Canada carries 23 women's cashmere sweater styles. Standard 100% Grade A Mongolian cashmere covers crewnecks (shrunken, boxy, oversized, fisherman, slouchy blouson sleeve), an oversized V-neck, a boatneck, a funnel neck, a dolman sleeve henley, quarter-zips, a cable tee, a cropped oversized tee, and a cardigan family (structured, structured V-neck, open, cropped crew, short sleeve, oversized boyfriend). Luxe Baby Cashmere — 14.5-14.9 micron, finer than standard Grade A — comes as a crewneck, a cable cardigan, and a quarter-zip. A Cotton Cashmere fitted ribbed cardigan rounds out the assortment for year-round wear.

Grade A Mongolian cashmere — Quince's standard line — uses 15.8-16.2 micron long-staple fibers, the same quality standard used in luxury cashmere knitwear. Luxe Baby Cashmere uses 14.5-14.9 micron fibers, combed from goats under one year old — even finer than Grade A. Each goat produces roughly enough baby cashmere for one sweater per year, making the line genuinely rare. The Featherweight Cashmere line uses Grade A cashmere knit at a longer fiber length and finer gauge, creating a lighter-weight, more pill-resistant cashmere ideal for warmer-weather wear. All three are 100% cashmere — they differ in fiber diameter, fiber length, and knit gauge, which determines softness, weight, and durability.

Yes. Every Quince standard cashmere sweater is made from 100% Mongolian cashmere, sourced from Inner Mongolia. We use Grade A fibers measuring 15.8-16.2 microns — the same quality standard commonly used in luxury cashmere knitwear. Our Luxe Baby Cashmere uses even finer 14.5-14.9 micron fibers.

Most cashmere sweaters run true to size. The classic Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck has a relaxed fit. Oversized styles (Oversized Crewneck, Oversized V-Neck, Oversized Boyfriend Cardigan) are intentionally roomy — most customers stay with their standard size. Featherweight styles fit slightly closer to the body given the finer gauge. Cashmere stretches with body heat after the first wear and tightens back up after washing — that broken-in feel is normal. Cardigans run consistent across the buttoned styles; the Open Cardigan has a longer torso length intentionally.

Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent, or machine wash on the wool/delicate cycle in a mesh bag. Lay flat to dry — never hang wet (cashmere stretches). Pill management: use a cashmere comb or pumice stone for the first few wears; pilling lessens significantly after the first 2-3 washes. Store folded, not hung. Avoid bleach. The Featherweight line is more pill-resistant by construction (longer fiber length, finer gauge) so requires less de-pilling than standard Mongolian.

Quince sources Mongolian cashmere directly from goat herders and ships from manufacturers without traditional retail markup layers — same Grade A long-staple cashmere construction as specialty cashmere brands, priced well below specialty-brand retail for comparable construction. Women's cashmere sweaters start at $70 in Canada. The pricing model applies across all three cashmere lines — standard Mongolian, Luxe Baby Cashmere, and Featherweight — and extends to the assortment's cotton, merino, alpaca, and yak materials elsewhere in the sweater range.
