Is a cashmere and wool blend warmer than pure wool?

It is warm for its weight and softer against the skin than most pure wool knits. The cashmere adds softness and loft; the wool adds structure and durability.

How should I wash it?

Treat it as a delicate natural-fiber knit: hand wash in cool water with a wool detergent or dry clean, then dry flat. Do not tumble dry or hang it wet.

What does 3-gauge mean?

Gauge counts stitches per inch on the knitting machine, so a lower number means a thicker, chunkier knit. A 3-gauge knit is heavy and warm, closer to outerwear than a fine merino layer.

Cashmere and wool knits commonly pill where they rub, such as under the arms and at cuffs. Remove pills with a fabric comb and wash it less often to limit it.

How does the regular fit run?

The fit is regular, so it leaves room for a shirt or tee underneath without being oversized. The chunky knit adds bulk, so a slim coat over it may feel tight.
