Is it really 100% cashmere?

Yes, the label lists 100% cashmere. That is unusual at Mango's tier, where most knits are blends.

How warm is a lightweight cashmere sweater?

It is a fine gauge, so it is best as a layer under a coat or jacket. On its own it suits mild days, not deep winter.

Fine cashmere usually pills where it rubs, mainly under the arms and at the cuffs. A fabric comb removes the pills, and washing it inside out helps.

Hand wash in cool water with a wool detergent, or use a gentle machine cycle in a mesh bag. Dry flat and never tumble dry.

It has a straight cut, so it sits close to the body without being tight. Size up if you want a looser, tuckable fit.

Cashmere insulates well for its weight, but this knit is thin. A thick wool sweater is warmer; this one is better for layering.
