Is a cashmere-silk blend warmer than pure cashmere?

No. Silk adds softness and drape but less loft, so it is slightly less warm than a comparable pure cashmere knit. It works best as a mid-layer.

How should I care for it?

Hand wash cold with a wool detergent and dry flat, or dry clean. Skip the dryer and avoid hanging, which stretches the knit.

Fine cashmere-silk knits can pill where sleeves and sides rub. A fabric comb removes pills, and pilling usually eases after the first few wears.

It is cut as a slim, fine-gauge knit, so it sits close to the body. Size up if you want room to layer a shirt underneath.

Yes. The thin knit and low-bulk collar make it a common substitute for a shirt and tie in cooler months.
