cashmere sweaters

Soft goat-wool pullovers

Cashmere sweaters are knitted garments made from cashmere wool, the fine undercoat fiber of cashmere goats.

Prized for exceptional softness and warmth, they occupy a higher tier than ordinary wool sweaters: She saved up for a cashmere sweater.

The term often signals luxury or quality in fashion contexts.
