Neck warmer or scarf in cashmere: which should I choose?
It depends on your style and your daily routine. A cashmere neck warmer slips on in one move, with no knot to tie, and stays in place all day. It's ideal for busy days, bike rides or wearing under a coat, where a scarf can feel bulky. A scarf gives you more freedom to vary how you tie it and creates a more enveloping look. At KUJTEN, our 100% cashmere collars and neck warmers for women and men combine the practicality of a snood with the softness of a scarf, in a wide range of colours and styles.
Does a cashmere neck warmer really keep you warm?
Yes. Cashmere is one of the most insulating natural fibres: weight for weight, it is much warmer than regular wool while staying light and breathable. Worn close to the skin, a neck warmer protects one of the areas most sensitive to cold and keeps draughts out from under your coat. Its closed shape holds warmth close to your neck without unnecessary bulk. Paired with a cashmere hat or gloves, it keeps you warm all winter long.
How do I care for a cashmere collar or neck warmer?
Hand wash your neck warmer in cold water, or machine wash it on a cold wool cycle with a gentle spin, using a wool or cashmere detergent. Never wring it, and avoid soaking it for too long. Dry it flat, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and never tumble dry. To keep its shape, store it folded rather than hung, and let it rest for a day or two between wears. If pilling appears, gently remove it with a cashmere comb or de-piller. Always check the label, as some styles need special care.
