Ochre Knitwear Cashmere Mix Wool

Cashmere mix fabric is made by blending cashmere and lambs wool together. In this particular blend, the fabric is composed of 30% cashmere and 70% lambs wool.

100% Cashmere:

Cashmere is a luxurious, fine, and soft fiber that is obtained from the undercoat of cashmere goats. It is known for its exceptional warmth and softness, making it a popular choice for clothing and accessories.

100% Lambs Wool:

Lambs wool, on the other hand, is a softer and finer type of wool that comes from the first shearing of a lamb. It is lightweight, warm, and insulating, making it a great material for clothing, especially in cold weather.

Mixture:

When cashmere and lambs wool are blended together, the resulting fabric combines the best qualities of both fibers. The cashmere provides softness and warmth, while the lambs wool provides durability and insulation. The resulting fabric is lighter and softer than pure lambs wool, but more durable and insulating than pure cashmere.

Overall, a cashmere mix fabric containing 30% cashmere and 70% lambs wool is a versatile and high-quality material that offers a balance of comfort, warmth, and durability.

Ochre Knitwear Cashmere Mix Wool

Cashmere mix fabric is made by blending cashmere and lambs wool together. In this particular blend, the fabric is composed of 30% cashmere and 70% lambs wool.

100% Cashmere:

Cashmere is a luxurious, fine, and soft fiber that is obtained from the undercoat of cashmere goats. It is known for its exceptional warmth and softness, making it a popular choice for clothing and accessories.

100% Lambs Wool:

Lambs wool, on the other hand, is a softer and finer type of wool that comes from the first shearing of a lamb. It is lightweight, warm, and insulating, making it a great material for clothing, especially in cold weather.

Mixture:

When cashmere and lambs wool are blended together, the resulting fabric combines the best qualities of both fibers. The cashmere provides softness and warmth, while the lambs wool provides durability and insulation. The resulting fabric is lighter and softer than pure lambs wool, but more durable and insulating than pure cashmere.

Overall, a cashmere mix fabric containing 30% cashmere and 70% lambs wool is a versatile and high-quality material that offers a balance of comfort, warmth, and durability.

Tam Boxy jumper

Our boxy jumper is designed to be that effortless piece you reach for without thinking—easy to wear, beautifully made and quietly refined.

Its relaxed, boxy silhouette drapes away from the body for comfort while still feeling considered and flattering. Subtly dropped shoulders create a soft, modern line, and the classic crew neckline frames the face with a simple, timeless finish. The length sits neatly at the hip, which means it works seamlessly with high-waisted tailoring, fluid skirts or everyday denim.

Two front patch pockets lend a touch of character and practicality, giving the jumper a relaxed, contemporary feel without distracting from its clean design. Every detail is intentionally understated, so it slips into your wardrobe as naturally as your favourite T-shirt, yet always looks that little bit more elevated.

Knitted from an exceptionally soft, luxury yarn, the Tam feels comforting against the skin and offers an enveloping warmth that’s ideal for transitional weather and cooler days. It’s light enough for layering, substantial enough to wear solo, and designed to hold its easy shape through regular wear.

Versatility sits at the heart of this style. Pair it with tailored trousers and loafers for a polished office look, layer over a crisp shirt for subtle structure, or style with relaxed joggers for an off-duty outfit that still feels luxurious. It’s a natural choice for travel, home and city—wherever you want to feel comfortable but pulled together.

Thoughtfully crafted and endlessly wearable, the Tam Jumper captures the essence of modern luxury knitwear: unfussy, flattering and made for real life, day after day.
