Cashmere by Pringle - Powder Blue Mock Turtleneck - NWOT - Vintage

Vintage - NWOT - Cashmere by Pringle - Powder Blue Mock Turtleneck Sweater Size 97/38 100% Cashmere Made in Scotland Pit to pit - 14" Length - 23" Sat in my wife's steamer trunk. Never Worn. Perfect Condition. Quality cashmere is not only the finest, softest and warmest yarn, but it is also a very durable product, which can easily last 10 years and over 200 wears when taken care of properly. A cashmere goat produces no more than 200-300 grams of cashmere in a year and is collected in spring, during the natural moulting season. It takes 3 to 4 goats to make just one coat. It's a very finite resource, there is only a certain amount produced in the world. It is rare, so it's priced accordingly. Warmness. Cashmere is the warmest wool out of the two. It can be seven to eight times warmer than merino wool.
