What could be softer than cashmere I hear you ask? The answer is Cashmink. Its 20% softer than cashmere (how do they measure this? Is there a snuggleometer somewhere in a Swiss laboratory?). Its made in Germany and has many advantages apart from its cosiness. Its an acrylic fabric so machine washable water resistant and hypo-allergenic. Oh and it really does feel fabulous. Ours is reversible; a natty tonal grey dog-tooth check on one side and large squares on the reverse with tonal greys and charcoal to match any outfit. Perfect as a treat for yourself or a very well received Christmas present.
