A wool and cashmere sweater for women has no standard composition. Across the four models compared here, the share of cashmere ranges from 5% to 30%, the price from €90 to €235, and only two brands give the measurements of the garment itself. This comparison puts Freeman T. Porter, Hartford, Rouje and Sandro side by side, using data published by the brands on 20 October 2026.

Wool and cashmere: what the composition tells you
Cashmere comes from the undercoat of the cashmere goat, raised mainly in China and Mongolia. Wool comes from the sheep’s fleece. Blended in the same yarn, they bring cashmere within reach of a smaller budget: Freeman T. Porter’s Pram sweater, with 5% cashmere, costs €90. For a detailed fibre comparison (fineness, warmth, care), our article cashmere vs merino has the figures.
In practice, the composition label is enough to know how much cashmere a sweater contains. The same text reserves the “100%” mention for products made of a single fibre. Commercial terms such as “grade A” do not appear in the regulation, which only sets fibre names and percentages.
Added synthetic fibres (polyamide, nylon, viscose) change the final fabric. The Pram contains 35% polyamide, the Eunice 30% viscose and 15% nylon. Hartford’s Matsya sticks to animal fibres only; the brand describes this blend of cashmere and merino wool as a jersey knit in a fine, rather dense gauge.
What matters when choosing
- Neckline: V-neck at Freeman T. Porter and Rouje, crew neck at Hartford and Sandro. A roll neck or a mock neck keeps the neck warm in the cold season; a V-neck layers more easily over a shirt.
- Fit: a straight fit falls without marking the waist, an oversized fit adds volume, a fitted cut follows the body shape. The garment’s chest measurement says more than an S or M label.
- Sleeves: most wool and cashmere sweaters have long sleeves; short-sleeved or sleeveless versions layer well between seasons. Sandro, for example, sells a sleeveless sweater in 87% wool and 13% cashmere at €145.
- Colour: Freeman T. Porter’s Pram comes in six colours, from orange red to neon green; black or ecru pair more easily with the rest of a wardrobe.

Grid score80/100
Freeman T. Porter is a French ready-to-wear brand, started in 1993 around denim and based between Metz and Paris. Its women’s cashmere sweater collection lists 27 product pages on 20 October 2026, most of them in wool blends with 5% cashmere.
The Pram is the model of the collection available in the most colours: fiery red, pink fluo, rose violet, turkish sea, sulphur spring and neon green, at €90 in all six. Its fine knit, enriched with cashmere, is described by the brand as soft and warm. In size S, it measures 112 cm around the chest, 59 cm in length, 58 cm across the shoulders and 49 cm in the sleeves. The brand’s chart matches size S with an 86 cm bust: the sweater therefore leaves 26 cm of ease, which confirms the loose fit. The product page states that the model fits true to size; the model in the photos is 175 cm tall and wears an S.

Ranking methodology
The ranking is based on six criteria, each measurable on the brand’s website. The weighting and the grid were set on 20 October 2026, before scoring the models.
Choice of model. For each brand, a women’s sweater whose composition combines wool and cashmere, on sale on the brand’s French website on 20 October 2026. When the brand sells several, the model with the most colours; in case of a tie, the one with the lowest price.
Wool, cashmere and other hair. 2 points at 90% or more, 1 point from 50 to 89%, 0 below 50%.
2 points at 20% or more, 1 point from 5 to 19%, 0 below 5%.
2 points up to €100, 1 point from €101 to €180, 0 above €180.
2 points for 5 colours or more, 1 point for 3 or 4, 0 for 1 or 2.
2 points for 5 sizes or more, 1 point for 4, 0 for 3 or fewer.
2 points for garment measurements in cm on the product page, 1 point for a body size chart, 0 with no measurements.
Calculation. Each score (0, 1 or 2) is divided by 2 and multiplied by the weight of the criterion; the total is out of 100 points. The rank is the order of the totals. With equal totals, the brand with the sponsored feature ranks ahead, at its own rank; between the other brands, a tie is broken by the lowest entry price, then by alphabetical order.

Which wool and cashmere sweater suits your profile?
You want colour for €90
Freeman T. Porter’s Pram ticks both boxes: six bright colours at €90. With its published measurements, you can compare its chest width with yours before ordering, without guessing. Its loose fit and dropped shoulders make it a comfortable sweater for everyday wear, over jeans or tailored trousers.
You want as much cashmere as possible in a blend
Hartford’s Matsya, with 30% cashmere and no synthetic fibre, has the highest share of cashmere in this comparison. It also suits you if you wear a FR 44, the brand’s size 5.
You like loose volumes
Rouje’s Eunice embraces an oversized fit and a deep V-neck. It can be tucked in at the front over wide trousers; to choose those, our guide wide-leg vs palazzo trousers details the differences in measurements.
You want a layered effect
Sandro’s 2-in-1 sweater gives the illusion of two layered pieces in a single one. For an office outfit, it is a shortcut to elegance: one piece to pull on in the morning.
Size and care: tips before buying a wool and cashmere sweater
Measure your bust at its fullest point, without pulling the tape tight, then compare it with the brand’s chart. Scales differ: Sandro’s size 1 matches a FR 36, so does Hartford’s size 1, and Freeman T. Porter’s S as well. To switch between systems (FR, UK, US), our women’s size conversion chart gives every equivalent.
When the product page lists the garment’s measurements, work out the difference between its chest and yours. The bigger the gap, the looser the sweater: 26 cm for Freeman T. Porter’s Pram in size S.
As for care, cashmere’s short fibres form pills through friction, especially under the arms. A sweater comb removes them without damaging the yarn. Hand wash or use a cold wool cycle, dry flat and store folded: a hanger stretches the shoulders of a heavy knit. A wool and cashmere blend keeps its softness better with these habits than with frequent washing.
One last point: read the composition label before the price. It tells you how much cashmere you are paying for.
