Cashmere Sweater... - 09/22/11 05:56 PM
My daughter comes over this morning with a "100% Cashmere" sweater that she bought for $3 at a local thrift store and gave it to me. She also bought a down jacket, again for $3, that she kept for herself. They are both like new.
She actually got them for when we go hiking (of course, she'll be hiking mostly with her boyfriend )
It's a nice sweater, pretty thick, has a nice tight weave, seems pretty durable to me. It's not super duper soft and cozy, but it's not itchy or scratchy either, and it's warm, I'm wearing it right now.
Anyone here ever use cashmere it for hiking/backpacking? Any reason not to?
