Where to get the nicest best quality cashmere knitwear?

I've saved the names of the good stuff and will be buying in the Sales, thank you.

I used to like the cashmere jumpers that Nigella Lawson wore. I think they were from Brora. But look at the prices shock:

Expensive, aren't they?

I got two very nice Mercer & Madison cashmere jumpers from TK Maxx - £39 each, cheaper than M&S and better for me as I am short and with most jumpers the sleeves are too long and the shoulders too wide.

I've never had a cashmere jumper before and they are so warm and cosy. Instructions say "dry clean only" but I'm tempted to put on a delicate wash.

Eloethan. I either hand wash them in liquid soap or machine wash at a low temp. I've never had them dried cleaned, I'm too tight! grin

Thanks Marydoll.
