- Is it really 100% cashmere?
- Yes. The knit is listed as pure cashmere, with no merino or synthetic blend. That gives it the softness and warmth of cashmere, but it also means it needs gentler handling than a blended knit.
- How should I wash it?
- Handwash only. Use cool water and a cashmere-safe detergent, squeeze rather than wring, and dry flat away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- How does it fit?
- It is a women's long-sleeve turtleneck with some stretch, so it follows the body rather than hanging loose. If you want a relaxed layer over a shirt, consider going up a size.
- Will it pill?
- Pure cashmere commonly pills at friction points such as under the arms and where a bag rubs. A cashmere comb or fabric shaver removes the bobbles, and resting it between wears helps.
- Can I wear it under a coat or blazer?
- Yes, that is its main use. The high neck replaces a scarf, though the collar can feel bulky under a closely fitted jacket.
- How does it compare with a merino turtleneck?
- Cashmere is softer and warmer for its weight, but merino is usually machine-washable and more durable. Choose this for feel and warmth; choose merino for lower maintenance.
