No, I can't imagine a tailor that does that kind of work, or have the knowledge. It's not their profession. www.knitweardoctor.com I don't know anything about them but it's definitely possible to do such alterations.

I asked the following question in the "what can a tailor do?": Can the turned back cuffs on the sleeves be sewn in place? To my knowledge it was never answered...would be curious to know as my tailors english sucks and phone calls are pointless.

In principle yes. I bought last year a Four Ply Cashmere Shawl Collar Cardigan which was a bit large in the chest. As it was the last one in the shop and on sale, they altered it and I had to pay about 60 dollars. I would not trust any tailor to alter an expensive cashmere sweater though.

If there is a sewn seam already and you want to shrink it along that seam, sure. Why not
I wouldn't ask a tailor to cut cashmere if there is no seam already.
