Cashmere is very popular during winter and considered to be a luxurious item because the cashmere wool is rare. The price of cashmere wraps varies from $4.99 - $5,000 or more. It doesn't necessary mean that the cheaper ones are fake, but the part of the cashmere goat that used to make the cashmere is less furry. Of course, it is best to buy from a trustworthy seller or company. The best part is the fur from the neck because they are long and thick, thus good for keeping warm. The cheaper ones use the fur from hind legs or body. They are shorter and less quality.

No matter which quality you prefer, cashmere is still cashmere. It has the smoothness, and it's a must-have item in winter.

If you are buying a cashmere wrap, consider what you want to use this wrap for. Wraps can be used as scarf or blanket. Usually there are 1 ply, 2 ply, 4 ply. The more ply the wrap has, the thicker the wrap is. So if you like to wear it as scrarf in winter, 2 ply would be perfect. It is not too thin as 1 ply, so you can wrap around your neck comfortably. 4-ply is very warm and comfy, and you can wrap around you to work. 2-ply wrap might be better with evening dress as a shawl. 1-ply is good for summer in the  evening or at work where there is air-conditioning.

Moreover, please check how many percent of the garment is actually cashmere. It would be best to have 100%. There are lots of Pashmina on the market. It is made of Cashmere and Silk. The more silk it contains, the shinier the wrap will be. I personally prefer 100% cashmere as it is warmer. However, Pashmina can be good with evening wear as it has the sheen.

Hope these information helps! :)
