From the softer-than-soft feel to the luxurious look, there’s no denying that cashmere is a cold-weather must. But what you didn’t know? Here, we unravel five lesser-known truths about the textile.
1. “Cashmere” derives from Kashmir, the region in southern Asia that first exported it.
2. The yarn comes from the fine undercoat fibers of the cashmere goat.
3. No wrinkles here! Pack plenty of scarves, sweaters, tees, and more for throw-on-and-go holiday travel.
4. Cashmere becomes softer with age (yes, you heard right), so stock up.
5. This textile warms in winter and cools in spring for year-round wear and double the use.
