Your Guide to Jenni Kayne Cashmere

March 25, 2026

There’s nothing casual about the way we think about cashmere. We think of it as an absolute wardrobe essential—whether it stars as the centerpiece of your outfit, a cozy transitional layer, or an elevated accessory draped over your shoulders. From the different types of cashmere sweaters we create—classic, air-spun, and chainette—to their endless styling possibilities, we consider every detail. Keep reading for our guide to our cashmere collection, including where it’s sourced, how to care for it, and how to style it to be your most-worn pieces.

About Our Cashmere

Building an intentional wardrobe starts long before a piece reaches your wardrobe—it begins with how it’s made. Our cashmere is sourced from Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, where the finest grade A fibers are sourced and known for their ineffable softness, warmth, and durability. Using ultra-fine yarn, our cashmere is designed to feel luxuriously cozy while holding up beautifully over time. 

We partner with high-quality knitwear makers who share our commitment to responsible sourcing and expert craftsmanship, ensuring every piece is made to be worn and loved for years to come.

Our Cashmere by Type

Classic—Our classic cashmere sweaters are what we’re known for. Crafted from premium cashmere yarn, they’re lightweight yet feel endlessly cozy, making them the perfect all-season layers.  

Air-Spun—Using an innovative air-spun knitting technique, each piece has a super soft, lofty finish without the weight. If you want to add a touch of plush, refined texture to your outfit, these layers are a must-have in your arsenal.

Chainette—Our chainette cashmere is defined by its soft yet durable knit and subtly textured finish. Less prone to pilling and able to hold its shape, it offers a beautiful drape plus an elevated stitch—making it an easy choice for your next knit.

How to Care for Your Sweater

1. Gently Hand Wash—Sort by color and turn garments inside out. Hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent, soaking for about 30 minutes. If you’re using a machine, choose a delicate cycle, cold water, and use a mesh bag for added protection. 

2. Dry Flat—Lay sweaters flat on a towel, roll to remove excess water, then reshape and air dry on a flat surface. Avoid hanging, as water weighs down delicate fibers and can cause them to stretch. 

3. Smooth & Refresh—Pilling is a natural characteristic of high-quality cashmere, but it’s simple to maintain a refreshed finish. After drying, gently remove pills using a sweater stone for thicker knits or a sweater comb for more delicate fibers, working in one direction. 

4. Store Carefully—Finally, to preserve your sweaters between seasons and keep moths away, always clean them before storing. Fold and place in breathable cotton bags with lavender or cedar sachets, and keep in a cool, dry space. And voilà—your cashmere is ready to enjoy for seasons to come. 

Styles for Every Occasion

Oversized Fit—Balance the volume with slim or straight-leg bottoms, or play into it with elevated, yet relaxed bottoms. Try tucking the front into bottoms or layering over a crisp button-down for a touch more dimension. We love the Cashmere Amelia Crewneck and the Cashmere Cocoon Cardigan for endless outfit inspiration.

Boxy, Cropped Fit—Maximize this silhouette by pairing with high or mid-rise bottoms, or layer it over longer tees that peek out past the hem. We suggest the Cropped Cashmere Cocoon and the Cropped Cashmere Jet Turtleneck for two new modern closet staples.  

Classic, Relaxed Fit—Wear solo for a polished, minimal look, or layer under coats for warmth without weight. Turn to the Flynn Cashmere Sweater or the Cashmere Fisherman Sweater for a textbook timeless look.
