Cashmere: It's Time…

Cashmere's Quiet Luxury

Cashmere is the ultimate in understated, refined luxury and ours is a collection we design with pride. A British benchmark combining classic style with everyday practicality, William Crabtree cashmere boasts the very best yarn and uncompromising craftsmanship knitted in Scotland.

Our cashmere 2-ply crew necks and other cashmere-wool mix knitwear deliver enduring appeal - soft, warm, and meticulously made to last, with the promise of becoming a forever favourite in any well-considered wardrobe. Crafted using traditional techniques that harness the natural qualities of the yarn's lightweight insulation, breathability, and unmistakably soft handle.

There is no better companion than cashmere for cold morning walks, smart city layering, and for evenings when the light fades early…

The Cashmere Crew Neck

Our 2-Ply cashmere crew necks are knitted on 15 gauge frames using two ends of 2/28's cashmere yarn (some would say 4 ply) - a traditional method with a higher tension than most to ensure the garment maintains shape. The sweater is then washed in the soft Scottish water to ensure the soft handle you expect for quality cashmere.

The cut is designed to be clean and contemporary - a classic silhouette that makes it a versatile wardrobe staple - ideal for layering for both casual and more tailored outfits, for weekdays and weekends, in city and country.

Carefully considered design details such as fine ribbing at the cuffs, collar, and hem provides a secure, comfortable fit; while subtle, minimalist finishes keep the focus on the richness of the yarn.

Designed in a palette of six timeless shades, this is a sartorial staple to invest in - that pairs everyday practicality with timeless luxury - a soft, warm, and wonderfully wearable forever jumper you'll want to hang on to.

Cashmere / Wool Knitwear

Many of the William Crabtree knitwear staples are designed with a cashmere/wool mix - meaning the fibres are blended together before being spun into a yarn ready for knitting. Adding cashmere enhances the warmth and enduring soft handle of what will become our favourite jumper to wear on repeat…

A note on seasonal sales…

We don't participate in Black Friday or other fast fashion seasonal sales. The reason is that we believe strongly in investing in items for your wardrobe for the long term. We don't do fads - our collections are forever classics and are thoughtfully designed and created with the best possible raw materials with makers that also share our commitment to sustainability. This means we can consistently and authentically deliver the very best quality clothing at reasonable prices throughout the year and you can be assured you can purchase in plenty of time for the season and know we won't be marking down later on.

Instead of seasonal sales, we opt for an Archive Sale once or perhaps twice a year, where we present a very select few items at gentler prices for the lines we are phasing out.

Another reason why as customers, your loyalty and understanding of our values means everything.
