Sweaters

Quince uses Grade A Mongolian cashmere, the highest classification for cashmere fiber. Grade A fibers are longer and finer than lower grades — typically under 16 microns in diameter — which produces a sweater that is softer against skin, less prone to pilling, and more durable over time. Lower-grade cashmere uses shorter fibers that pill more aggressively and lose their softness faster. For a sweater you intend to wear for years, the fiber grade is the single most important quality variable.
