Cashmere is considered to be the most luxurious of natural fibres. It is made from the wool of the Kashmir goat, and can take between 3 and 6 fleeces to make one regular sized jumper, with the softest wool coming from the underbelly and the throat. Cashmere clothing has been popular with fashion-conscious women for generations because of its classic styling and durability.
Cashmere is extremely lightweight and comfortable. It creates clothes that are easy to wear and not bulky. Cashmere wool is extremely adaptable, making it simple to be woven into a variety of styles. Naturally, cashmere comes in white, grey and brown, but it can easily be dyed fashionable, bright colours. This makes cashmere the fabric of choice for people of any age or taste.
Today, cashmere is a popular fabric for loungewear. It feels incredibly snug and lush against your skin. It has some natural stretch, meaning that you can move easily when wearing it. One of the major benefits of cashmere clothing is it’s adaptability to temperature, due to the high moisture content of the wool. In the winter it will keep you warm and insulated, yet it will ensure you stay cool in the summer. Cashmere is also extremely long lasting. If it is properly cared for, an item of cashmere clothing will last a lifetime.
Wellicious has an excellent range of cashmere in a massive variety of breath-taking colours and on-trend styles. They can easily meet all your loungewear needs.
Cashmere clothing is sleek and soft, and so comfortable to wear. But isn’t caring for cashmere too much hassle? Cotton loungewear is certainly low maintenance in comparison. But then, cotton loungewear doesn’t say “I love you” the way a cashmere sweater does at Christmas time. Actually, cashmere is fairly easy to care for in four simple steps: hand washing or dry cleaning, de-pilling, correct storage, and moth protection. Cashmere is delicate, and washing it in standard washing machines can damage it. Cashmere clothing should be hand washed or dry cleaned, or cleaned on the hand wash or delicate cycle in your washing machine. Once you have washed your cashmere a few times, you may notice some tiny lumps on the fabric—this is called pilling. This is normal, and does not mean that your clothing is damaged or made from inferior material. You can easily remove the little balls of fuzz with your fingers, a fabric shaver, or a special cashmere comb. Cashmere sweaters should not be hung in closets on hangers as this can stretch the fabric and change the shape. Rather, you should carefully fold clean cashmere garments and store them in fabric garment bags. To prevent moths from getting to your cashmere, clothing should be stored in sealed containers. Air your cashmere clothes in full sunlight as moths hate light. Also, you can freeze garments over night before storing them, as this will kill any moth larvae. You can also use moth balls or cedar wood to deter moths as they do not like the smell.
Cosy. Sleek. Sexy. New loungewear is always nice, no matter what kind you prefer. But have you ever thought about going all organic on your casual clothing? You might be surprised to learn you can buy loungewear, yoga clothes, and even cashmere jumpers that are all organic like here in our Wellicious online shop. But why buy organic clothes? Organic cotton, and other organic plants used in clothing production, is grown without using harsh chemicals like fertilizers and pesticides that can damage the soil. Also, no genetically engineered seeds or plants are used in growing organic cotton, and crop rotation, which is good for the soil, is a high priority. So when you purchase organic clothing, such as loungewear made from organic cotton, you’re doing Mother Nature a big favour as well as getting some new, cosy clothes. You can’t beat that. Organic cotton is also incredibly soft to the touch. Another great reason to buy organic loungewear! And clothing made from one hundred percent cotton, without the use of chemical dyes, is safer for your skin. The quality of organic cotton is also higher, which means your organic loungewear will last longer than average other cotton loungewear. Wholly organic clothing has come a long way in recent years, so you can find a wide variety of organic clothes in various colours and styles to suit any taste. Next time you shop for new casual clothes, loungewear, or yoga clothes, why skimp on goodwill toward Mother Earth when you can purchase comfortable, stylish, high quality loungewear that supports saving the earth here in our Wellicious online shop?

When I was pregant I chose London based antenatal class provider New Baby Company for my baby first aid-course. They also provide professional, practical and personal advice during and after pregnancy - which I definalty needed:-).
New Baby Company also run a number of ante-natal and post-natal courses in London, their locations including Notting Hill Gate, Chelsea, Chiswick and Wandsworth. Their ante-natal course, called Birth and Beyond, for pregnant women and their partners is unique as it covers areas that many other courses do not. They also provide private one-2-one antenatal and postnatal courses, including weaning onto solids, refreshers for 2nd time mums and adopting a newborn. Their babies and children’s first-aid course is run at their Chiswick location, it will teach how to deal with emergency situations you might face as a parent or carer of a small child. Call them on 020 7751 1152 if you have any questions or would like to book onto one of their courses. They are great!
By the way, I am 6 months pregant on this picture and of course wearing Wellicious! Check out our Wellicious Tank with a Bow and our Wellicious Gathered Pants.
Let’s face it, there’s nothing quite like slopping around in trackie Bs and a hoodie when the diary’s empty and the weather’s grey. That said, hubby isn’t all that enamoured by my TBs and whilst I don’t exactly blame him, as a self confessed workaholic (at least four nights a week, my working day doesn’t end before 11pm) comfort is of paramount importance.
Denim is my day to day staple of choice when something smarter isn’t required (and even then I’d rather a tux / leather jacket and great shoes) but when I’m home, going nowhere and working weekends (the joys of running your own business!), I love my loungewear.
And when well being brand Wellicious entered the market earlier this year, I knew I’d made the right decision. My black roll top yoga (aka sit in front of laptop) pants have been worn to death.
As someone who feels the cold terribly (I get it from my mother – she sleeps with a hot water bottle and three extra blankets and that’s just in the summer months) I was grinning from ear to ear when Wellicious’ new Cashmere news po pped into my inbox.
A cashmere poncho, cashmere legwarmers, cashmere pants and the most darling cashmere cardigan with bow (pictured) that all come in Satin Pink and London Grey.
The range is so stylish I can even venture outdoors in it. If I can prise myself away from my laptop that is…
