Is it warm enough for winter?

It is a lightweight cashmere layer, so it adds warmth over a coat or knit in mild to cool weather. In hard cold or wind, expect to pair it with a heavier scarf.

How does cashmere compare with a wool scarf?

Cashmere is softer and warmer for the same weight than most wool, and it drapes more loosely. Wool is more durable and easier to wash, so cashmere trades some toughness for comfort.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash in cool water with a cashmere-safe detergent, press out the water without wringing, and dry flat. Avoid hot water and tumble drying, which shrink and mat the fibers.

Will the frayed edges unravel?

Frayed edges are part of the finish and can shed loose fibers over time. Trim stray threads with scissors rather than pulling them.

What can I wear it with?

It layers over coats, blazers and plain knits, and the herringbone texture reads well against solid colors. Fold it into a triangle for a loose tie or knot it at the neck.
