Cashmere wraps are one of the most luxurious types of scarves that one can buy and also can flaunt it most stylishly. They are without any doubt very expensive, but certainly it is not simply their price that makes them an item of luxury. Rather, their price reflects their rarity and their exclusiveness. There are certain reasons which make cashmere wrap the ultimate type of luxury scarves.

The first reason is that they are extremely rare as they are produced in very special conditions. Cashmere fibre is produced from the undercoat of the Cashmere goat that it sheds annually every spring. These goats can only be found in the high regions of the Himalayas, at a height of 14,000 ft. Since the fibre is so scarce, cashmere scarves and wraps are naturally considered to be a luxury item which can be flaunted very specially. The effort required in collecting Cashmere by hand combing each goat by hand, and the fibres are also sorted by hand is great. Spinning yarns and dyeing them is often done by hand as well. Cashmere is also best woven by hand, as hand woven scarves have a better finish than machine woven ones. Even when machines are used, they are hand operated ones which really needs a lot of effort. Moreover, hand woven scarves are often produced by master craftsmen from weaving families, where the secret of weaving the finest cashmere wraps is passed down from generation to generation. The amount of effort and painstaking craftsmanship required to produce hand woven scarves from cashmere makes them well worth their price. Cashmere is one of the softest fibres known to us. The fleece of the Cashmere goat is made up of fibres that are six times finer than human hair. It naturally offers a very soft and luxurious feel. It is even softer than pure silk. At the same time, it offers you really good insulation; it will keep you warm in winter and cool in spring. The cashmere wrap also provides an aesthetic appeal. Cashmere stoles and wraps are very much aesthetically appealing. They are available in a wide range of colours and designs, and with the addition of limited amount of other natural fibres like silk, they can be made shinier, lighter etc.

A sweater knitted using a cable pattern is usually termed Cable knit sweater . The pattern somewhat resembled ropes either in twisted or braided forms. There are different styles some of which are quite simple while others are very complex. Making this type of sweater was started and is still common in Ireland’s very famous Aran Islands. They were hand knit and tradition is a still being maintained at many of the places. The Irish made Cable knit sweaters go by the famous brand name of Aran sweater or fisherman sweater. So, if you haven’t yet tried a cable knit sweater, then it is time for you to bag one which your wardrobe very well deserves. The cable knit sweaters can be shopped online or from any renowned fashion market anywhere in UK.
