I found a J. Crew 100% cashmere sweater at a thrift store today on the 3/$1 rack (33 cents!!). It's day glo yellow and has some stains so I'm planning to dye it. Your cashmere dying video was very helpful!

[@nearlynewcashmere]

That's so good to hear and what a bargain! Hope it all goes well :)

I just picked up a banana republic womens cashmere sweater with shell buttons the other day at a thrift store for less than 5.00. I really like it except for the color. Just watched your dyeing cashmere video and now Im planning a dye session with my new lovely cardigan lol.

[@nearlynewcashmere]

That's fantastic! Hope it all goes well :)

I own about 10 cashmere jumpers from Ballantyne from the 70‘s these are for me the upper class in cashmere products !

[@nearlynewcashmere]

We’d definitely agree with you!

[@jessicablanchard1560]

Thank you for these lovely pointers! What do you think of vintage Neiman Marcus cashmere?

[@nearlynewcashmere]

You're very welcome! We do get quite a few Neiman Marcus on our website and they have really nice quality cashmere

[@Falconsonfire-ws2wq]

Could you possibly do a review of the Uto Cashmere jumper? It's a small Japanese company that seems very reliable! I'm planning on buying one but am unsure.

[@nearlynewcashmere]

I don't think we have heard of Uto cashmere before - if we get any through the system we'll take a look.

[@galaxytrio]

Thanks for the recommendations.

[@nearlynewcashmere]

You're very welcome!

[@spaceforthesoul6286]

Great style you have in all your videos.

[@nearlynewcashmere]

Thank you

[@laurenknowles8100]

Very helpful. Thank you! I'm going to Scotland in a few months (I'm from the US) and I was thinking of getting a cashmere sweater as a souvenir. Any Scottish brands you recommend or think are overpriced?

[@nearlynewcashmere]

Glad to be of help! It is worth visiting Johnstons of Elgin's factory shop Howick. To our knowledge, Brora has all of their cashmere made in Scotland. It is on the pricier side but they do have an outlet shop in Chelsea, London if you happen to be down there!

[@Mrs.TJTaylor]

Thank you.

[@nearlynewcashmere]

Glad to be of help!

Does ralph lauren make good quality cashmere cardigans? I have a few but im new to the cashmere material and dont know if they are considered good.

[@nearlynewcashmere]

Yes they do!

[@junosynth]

@nearlynewcashmere I have 2 100% cashmere cardigans from them. They are really nice and feel great but it says they were made in China. Does that matter?

[@nearlynewcashmere]

@@junosynth cashmere originates in that area but it definitely doesn’t indicate inferior quality!

[@MAYMAI1937]

so helpful! emidio tucci is actually Spanish

[@nearlynewcashmere]

Oh really, that's good to know!

[@palomablanca4218]

I hate Cashmere !!! each sooo bad !!!! I don't understand what is the big deal about !! However, Silk and Cotton and cheap Rayon are much softer.

[@nearlynewcashmere]

That’s fine if you prefer other materials 💁🏼‍♀️

[@derrickadam1026]

He helped me but he don’t know what the fuck dillards and Belk is?

[@derrickadam1026]

But yeah that’s more important than passing the cpa because??

[@derrickadam1026]

Who said quote, sorry motherfuckers just expect to get money from non-sorry motherfuckers…

[@derrickadam1026]

Hey I don’t think he saw. Make sure to remind him for the 20th as if I didn’t pick up on what happening the first time around.

[@derrickadam1026]

Greg, Ask me if I give a fuck cop coincides with my date of birth?

[@marleenneil7542]

Difficult to understand w/ her accent

[@nearlynewcashmere]

Sorry about that! We think Ali is speaking clearly and there's not much we can do about her accent!
