The cashmere scarf for the first cold walk to work

A long, narrow scarf in 100% cashmere, with six inch fringes at the ends. The listing names Mongolian cashmere, two ply yarn and a plain weave in one solid color, and describes it as suited to fall and winter, casual outfits or formal ones.

Cashmere is the whole story here. The listing says 100% cashmere, specifically extra fine Mongolian cashmere, and gives the fabric type as 100% cashmere with nothing else listed. The yarn is two ply, meaning two strands twisted together, and the weave is plain, so the surface is even rather than patterned. It is a solid color, and the listing suggests pairing it with casual or formal outfits.

The size is 11.8 inches wide and 66.2 inches long, with 6 inch fringes. The listing does not say whether the fringe is counted inside the length. It describes draping, wrapping and knotting, indoors or outdoors, and calls the piece right for fall and winter. How soft it feels against the neck is a matter of taste, and the listing gives no weight or thickness, so it does not say how warm it runs.

Care is hand wash only, so it is not a machine wash item. Hand washing is a matter of habit, so it suits someone happy to do a little care by hand. The listing says it is imported and arrives in a designer gift box, which suits giving it as a present. The material here names no color and no price, so check both on the listing before buying.
