Merino vs Cashmere
How to choose between merino wool and cashmere for softness, warmth, care, and gifting.
Choose merino for everyday use
Merino wool is soft, breathable, and practical for sweaters, beanies, socks, and base layers. It is usually easier to wear often and easier to care for than very delicate luxury fibers.
Choose cashmere for a softer gift feel
Cashmere is known for a lighter, softer hand-feel. It works especially well for scarves and small accessories where sizing is simple and the gift feels more elevated.
