It’s finally time. All fall we’ve been looking forward to swaddling ourselves in warm, cozy knits that signify cooler weather. If it’s cashmere or alpaca, all the better.
Cashmere from cashmere goats and alpaca from (of course) alpacas both feature a soft, luxurious feel. Unlike wool, which can be irritating, these natural fibers are sumptuous and silky.
Look for fabrics that are 100 percent cashmere or alpaca for the comfiest wear. If it’s mixed with wool or (horrors!) synthetic fabrics, it won’t promise the same supersoft, plush yet chic fit.
It’s an investment, but it’s worth it.
