The shape decides how many ways a scarf can be tied, so a square and a long strip are really different tools.

Open, draped around the shoulders with one end tossed back, it is a wrap for a cool office or a restaurant. Folded lengthwise and looped once with both ends hanging in front, it fills the neckline of a coat. Wrapped twice and tucked, it becomes a warm collar on a windy day. \u003cstrong\u003eThe extra width is what makes one piece cover all three jobs.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Makes Cashmere Feel Warm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCashmere comes from the soft undercoat of cashmere goats, and its fibers are finer than most sheep wool. Fine fibers trap more still air for their weight, which is why cashmere feels warm without feeling heavy, and why it sits softer against the neck than coarser wool. The brushed surface you see in the close-up photo is part of that softness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeeping Cashmere Soft for Years\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe label gives two choices: dry clean, or hand wash cold and lay flat to dry. \u003cstrong\u003eHand washing keeps cashmere softer over the years, because it skips the solvents of dry cleaning.\u003c\/strong\u003e Use cool water and a wool or cashmere wash, squeeze the water out inside a rolled towel, then dry it flat, far from radiators and sun. Between wears, fold it rather than hanging it, so the weight of the fringe does not stretch the length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHeather Gray Cashmere Wrap Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does cashmere shrink in the wash?\u003c\/strong\u003e Heat and rubbing together make the fibers lock and felt.
