Used cashmere sweaters in Rourkela typically sell for ₹400 to ₹1,500 (about $4 to $16). Cashmere is bought on condition of the fibre, so the two things that decide your price are pilling and moth holes — and both need photographing rather than describing.
Selling a cashmere sweater in Rourkela
Rourkela was built around one of the country’s first large integrated steel plants and is a planned industrial city as a result, laid out in sectors with the plant at its centre. It sits in a mineral-rich belt with forest and hills around it.
Steel plant employment moves households on transfer and retirement cycles, clearing complete sets at once. The engineering college adds an annual student turnover on top.
The city is laid out in numbered sectors, which makes agreeing a meeting point unusually easy — the sector number is enough. Plant colonies have managed access, so check before assuming you can drive in.
Agree the sector number rather than a street name. The city is laid out in numbered sectors and that number is the most reliable direction you can give or receive here.

What cashmere sweaters are worth
What lifts the price
- No pilling, or pilling that has been properly removed
- Full-fashioned shoulders and a soft, dense handle
What pulls it down
- Moth holes, which are common and immediately visible
- Felting or shrinkage from a hot wash
Working out what yours is worth
- Hold the knit up to the light to reveal moth damage and thin patches
- Check the composition label for the cashmere percentage and ply
Getting it ready
- De-pill it properly with a cashmere comb or a fabric shaver. This takes twenty minutes and reliably adds to the price.
- Hold it up to a window and check for moth holes, which are small, round and easy to miss under artificial light.
Photograph
- The composition label showing the cashmere percentage and ply if stated
- A close, well-lit shot of the knit surface after de-pilling, to prove the condition
Put in the description
- Pit-to-pit and body length laid flat
- Whether there are any moth holes, however small, and how many
Sells from October through February, with a clear peak before Christmas. Outside that window prices soften noticeably, so a summer listing is usually worth holding.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
