The extra large wrap for cold mornings and long flights

This is an extra large knitted wrap, 87 by 28 inches, sold in a gift box. The listing calls it cashmere, but it gives two different fiber contents, so it is worth reading the details before you decide. Here is what the specification says and what it means.

The title and the first bullet say 100% cashmere. The fabric line further down says 60% cashmere and 40% wool. Both are in the listing, and it does not explain the difference. If the exact blend matters to you, treat the fabric line as the more specific of the two and ask the seller before buying. Cashmere is the fine undercoat of goats, and the listing names inner Mongolia highland cashmere as the source.

The size is 87 by 28 inches, which is long enough to wrap around the shoulders as a stole or fold into a scarf. It is described as knitted, light, breathable and resistant to pilling, and as suitable for all seasons, a warm layer in winter and a light pashmina style wrap in summer. The listing also says the fibers regulate temperature and hold about 37°C against the skin. That is the seller’s claim, and no test is given. It is offered in various colors, and which one suits you is a matter of taste.

Care is hand wash only, so it needs a basin and some time rather than a machine cycle. It is imported, and the listing does not name a country. It arrives in a gift box, which the listing suggests for birthdays, weddings and holiday parties. The listing does not state the weight, the exact knit, or the dye process.
