How to Decide Whether to Buy Cashmere
Scarves or Wool Scarves for Winter Wear?
Some consumers debate between the decision to buy cashmere scarves
and the option to buy wool scarves and often are confused if they possibly
are the same or similar. Most customers have not much of an idea of what
cashmere yarn is and how it differs from merino sheep wool yarn for
example. Many questions on warmth texture, quality, durability and price
come to mind so let’s discuss this for a little clarity.
Origin difference: Cashmere yarn comes from
the Capra Hircus Himalayan mountain
cashmere goats and merino wool comes from
sheep that originated in Portugal and Spain but
today abound in Australia and New Zealand.
So one is Himalayan cashmere goat hair the
other from merino sheep to be accurate. The
texture of both these hair are different in many
ways and similar in some. They both are a
form of wool though cashmere is considered
far superior.
The similarity in both yarn is that they are

2. considered very soft and fine in quality.
Hair Yield in a year: A mountain Cashmere goat gives only 4 ounces of
cashmere yarn a year but the merino sheep have to be sheared once a year
no matter to prevent issues and they do give much more hair and
therefore cashmere is more exclusive and expensive in comparison.
Cleaning and Care: Cashmere being more finer needs handwashing in
cool water and no spot cleaning as it affects the yarn adversely. Merino
wool can be washed in hot and cold water with spot cleaning never
causing issues. This is because merino wool in comparison is sturdier.
Pricing: Luxurious cashmere depending on the grade is much more pricy
and merino is more affordable and reasonably priced.
Use of the wool: Merino wool can be used in any clothing nothing is
barred, great for clothing , accessories, undergarments, socks, caps, sports
garments, it is excellent at keeping the body heat without overheating.
Cashmere wool provides better insulation in that though light in weight it
is 7­8 times warmer. Its warmth is luxurious and plush when made in to 4
ply shawls and scarves.
Distinctiveness: Clothing and accessories such as cashmere scarves,
cashmere shawls wraps have the high distinctive advantage of being very
breathable, lightweight with great insulation benefits. Merino wool has the
advantage of absorbing the moisture and drying it superfast hence it is
often used in ski wear and other winter sports wear clothing. It also
contains natural lanolin which is great for its antibacterial properties. The
main distinction of the lofty cashmere yarn is its crimp and the higher the
crimp the better it can be spun into soft heavenly yarn that has flexibility
Cashmere yarn also comes in 3 natural colors which merino yarn does not
have. It comes in white, brown and grey whereas merino has to be dyed to
the color needed. Of course cashmere wool too takes dyes in many colors
and shades which is another advantage for it.
Durability: Merino wool is far more durable it is easy to take on the dye,
it is odor absorbent, it is resistant to sun’s UV rays and very durable
compared to cashmere. Having said that cashmere has the ability to adjust
to high humidity levels in the air and that gives it superiority as it can be

3. used in any climate. It is super soft light and plush and consumers men
and women crave for the fine feel of cashmere there is good warmth but
never an over heated feeling. The lure of cashmere around the sensitive
neck and shoulder areas for cashmere scarves and women’s cashmere
shawls is undeniably strong ­ it is what men and women crave for in their
gift list.
Conclusion: Cashmere wool is considered crème de la crème of all winter
wool scarves by most people and commands a higher price as it has many
advantages even though it is not as durable as merino wool. One does
have to remember Merino has so many plus points that it is one of the
most popular wools used in any type of clothing/ accessories without
restrictions. It is hugely popular and reasonably priced. Cashmere seems to
be the luxury yarn that many opt for as they fall in love with it once they
wear it. They love its flexibility in particular. Finally do bear in mind there
are grades of yarn and plys of yarn that are used to make shawls and
wraps. A higher grade or quality of yarn commands a slightly higher price.
A ply is a layer of yarn so a 2 ply shawl is warm a 3 ply warmer and a 4
ply is plush warmth that is ideal for winters. Buy your cashmere shawls
