What cashmere does Shirley Allum Boutique stock?

Shirley Allum stocks pure cashmere jumpers and cardigans from Estheme and Cocoa Cashmere, in round necks, V-necks, polo necks and button styles. Colours run from everyday neutrals to brighter shades.

How do I choose cashmere?

Cashmere is graded by softness and ply, but the feel in the hand tells you most. A round or polo neck is the cosiest, a cardigan is the most versatile, and the light yarn layers easily. We are happy to help you choose in store.

Where can I buy cashmere in Dorset?

You can buy cashmere jumpers and cardigans at Shirley Allum Boutique in Shaftesbury, Dorset, in store and online. We carry Estheme and Cocoa Cashmere, and you can filter by size online.

What sizes does the cashmere come in?

Cashmere knits come in a broad spread of sizes, often S to XL, with a little natural give. If you prefer a closer or a more relaxed fit, come into the Shaftesbury boutique and we will help.

How do I care for cashmere?

Cashmere lasts best hand washed or washed cool on a wool cycle with a gentle detergent, then dried flat, never hung. Folding rather than hanging keeps the shoulders from stretching, and a soft comb lifts any bobbling.

Cashmere Jumpers & Cardigans

There is little that beats real cashmere for softness and warmth, and ours is the kind you keep for years. We carry cashmere jumpers and cardigans, in classic shapes and a good run of colours.

Estheme is the specialist, with beautifully soft jumpers, cardigans and the odd poncho. Cocoa Cashmere sits alongside it, known for its stripes and stars. Both are pure cashmere, made to last.

You will find round necks, V-necks, polo necks and button cardigans, in everyday neutrals and brighter colour. The yarn is light for its warmth, so it layers without bulk.
