Knitwear

This is the home of the whole Lumusae knit range: sweaters, cardigans, hoodies, tops and accessories, each hand-knitted and hand-linked from 100% Himalayan Chyangra cashmere. Every piece of cashmere knitwear here begins as hand-combed goat-hair fibre and is shaped by artisans in Nepal, so breadth of style and depth of craft sit side by side in one collection.

A knit for every layer

The range spans easy everyday tops through pieces made to last for years. For a structured winter staple, the Atlas cable-knit sweater carries a classic cable across the chest, while the Ella ribbed crewneck gives a closer, ribbed fit that layers cleanly under a coat. When you want something more relaxed, the Kora zip hoodie brings the same fine fibre to a casual, zip-through shape. Hand-knitted cashmere like this drapes softly and holds its form wear after wear.

Choosing weight and season

Cashmere is fine, so weight rather than bulk is what shifts with the season. As a rough guide:

  • Lighter 2-ply knits and tops for spring, autumn and layering indoors.
  • Mid-weight crewnecks and cardigans for everyday cold-weather wear.
  • Chunkier cable and hoodie styles for the depth of winter.

All of it is warm for its weight and easy to fold away when the temperature turns. Because the fibre is so light, a knit you reach for in autumn will still earn its place layered under a coat in the depth of winter. New to the fibre? Our guide to what is a cashmere sweater explains how it differs from ordinary knitwear, and how to tell if cashmere is real covers what to check before you buy.

Undyed, in the fibre's own colour

Undyed means the cashmere keeps the colour it grew in — no dyeing, no bleaching — so the ivory, oat, fawn, grey and brown tones you see are the goats' natural coat. It is Grade-A, roughly 16-micron fibre, NPIA-certified and Fair Trade certified, shipped with duties paid. You can browse the natural palette on its own through our undyed cashmere edit.

From here, narrow the range by who you are shopping for: the men's cashmere and women's cashmere collections gather the full run of jumpers, cardigans and accessories in one place. Whatever you choose, it is honestly priced cashmere made to be worn for years, not seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

What weights of cashmere knitwear do you offer?

The collection runs from lighter 2-ply tops for layering, through mid-weight crewnecks and cardigans for everyday wear, up to chunkier cable knits and zip hoodies for deep winter. Because cashmere is such a fine fibre, warmth comes from the yarn rather than bulk, so even the heavier styles stay light to wear.
