WHY WE LOVE MERINO WOOL AND CASHMERE WOOL
MERINO WOOL & CASHMERE YARN BLENDS
At Aspiga, sustainability is more than a commitment it’s the foundation of every collection we create. For our Autumn/Winter 2025 collection, we’re proud to introduce a certified, premium cashmere yarn blend, alongside the return of our much-loved Merino Wool yarn.
A BETTER CHOICE FOR THE PLANET
By selecting certified yarns, we actively support sustainable farming and ethical sourcing practices.
Our new cashmere blend is sourced from a responsible mill committed to the sustainable development of the cashmere industry. With a strong focus on environmental care, including grassland protection, energy-efficient production, and fibre waste recycling—the mill also partners with herding communities and upholds ethical labour standards.
The result? A luxurious, soft yarn crafted with care for both people and planet.
Our Merino wool is equally considered. It comes from a mill that has cultivated its own grassland, providing job opportunities for local communities and employing skilled professionals. Animal welfare is a core priority, with the highest standards of care for livestock at every stage.
NOT JUST A PRETTY KNIT
Both cashmere blends and Merino wool bring natural performance to your wardrobe, elevating comfort, wearability, and sustainability.
Merino Wool:
- 100% biodegradable
- Ultra-soft and breathable
- Hypoallergenic and temperature-regulating
- Moisture-wicking and odour-resistant
Merino’s active fibres respond to your body, keeping you warm in the cold and cool in the heat; making it ideal as a base layer or worn on its own. Odour resistance means fewer washes, longer wear, and a reduced environmental impact.
Cashmere Blends:
- Exceptionally soft and warm
- Lightweight and breathable
- Stronger and more durable than pure cashmere
- Less prone to pilling and easier to care for
Blending cashmere with other high-quality fibres enhances its longevity and resilience, offering everyday luxury without compromising on performance or sustainability.
From fibre to finished yarn, every step of our production process meets the highest standards—so you can enjoy premium quality with a clear conscience.
COMB, CARE...REWEAR
As much as we love the feeling of a brand new piece of clothing, we at Aspiga also encourage you to look after your favourite staples and extend their lifecycle year after year.
Notwithstanding what the care label says, gentle hand-washing at a cool temperature is always advised. Drying flat on a towel, and avoiding hangers helps to prolong the wear of your favourite jumpers. Learn more about how to care for garment here.
On top of that, we suggest using our knitwear comb to keep your Aspiga jumpers free of piling, ensuring your cosy pieces will be bobble free and looking fabulous for longer. Find out more about our knitwear comb here.
And as all good things eventually come to an end, rest assured Merino Wool's biodegradable fibres can be composted, avoiding landfill and aligning with our sustainability pillar: Doing Right By The Planet.
