Handmade Cashmere Sweater
Couldn't load pickup availability
Handknitted in the Salzburg atelier from 100% Mongolian bouclé cashmere - ICEA-certified Grade A, the rarest and finest classification of cashmere fibre - each sweater is made to order, knitted slowly in small batches.
The bouclé construction produces a surface that is simultaneously chunky in appearance and exceptionally light to wear - warm enough for the coldest days without the weight of a conventional winter sweater. Against the skin, the quality of the fibre is immediately apparent: ultra-soft, naturally breathable, and temperature-regulating.
Chunky yet gentle, the sweater offers comforting warmth without heaviness - an essential piece for the coldest days.
Designed to pair seamlessly with the matching Handmade Cashmere Beanie and Handmade Cashmere Neck Warmer, as part of a complete handmade cashmere set for effortless winter layering.
Made-to-order. Please allow up to 5 working days for your sweater to be carefully hand-knitted.

Composition
Composition
100% Mongolian Cashmere, ICEA-certified, Grade A, spun in Italy
ICEA-certified - independently verified for fibre quality, traceability, and responsible sourcing standards from herding community to finished yarn.
Grade A cashmere represents the finest quality classification: fibre diameter under 16 microns, staple length sufficient to produce a stable, durable yarn that pills minimally and improves with wear.
The bouclé construction of this sweater uses that fibre in a way that maximises its natural softness and thermal properties while creating a distinctive surface texture found in very few handmade cashmere pieces.

How do I care for my knitwear?
As we work exclusively with natural fibres, the general rule is to handwash when needed, air your knitwear between wears rather than wash it too often, and always store it folded flat.
Use a lanolin-free detergent for mohair and a lanolin-enriched detergent for wool and cashmere. If you prefer one detergent, choose a gentle formula suitable for all the fibres in your knitwear.

What makes Onika Knitwear’s fibres special?
Onika Knitwear works exclusively with natural fibres, including premium Mongolian cashmere and carefully selected mohair-silk blends, chosen for their softness, durability and distinctive texture.
The yarns are selected with a focus on fibre quality and recognised certifications, including ICEA-certified cashmere, RMS-certified mohair, GOTS and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, where applicable. These certifications provide additional assurance about specific aspects of the materials and their sourcing.
Combined with small-batch production and timeless designs, these materials create knitwear designed to be worn and enjoyed for years to come.
We work with carefully selected natural fibres, sourced with respect for animal welfare, biodiversity, and land. From Italian-spun yarns to cashmere sourced directly from Mongolian herding communities, each material reflects a commitment to quality and responsibility.
