link?

is it really worth the £££££?

Yes it is worth the £££s. You can get decent cash for around £50 now- it is soft and warm.
try M&S, JLewis, Uniqlo for cheapish stuff.

Have you washed it yet? Do you sweat in it? Does it pile (or how do you call it when it gets pilling)?

Does it have to be hand washed?

I live in cashmere in the colder months. Totally worth it.

dry clean occasionally, otherwise hand wash cycle in machine with items in a laundry bag/ pillowcase

store with camphor balls

pills far less than nylony mix things

and feels like a treat, as well as being warm etc - practical and stylish, what more does one want?
and warmth without bulk too = plus 100 points!!

Anyone got the tesco cashmere joggers? any good? They look nice but I've not had knitted trousers before so no idea what to expect. I may yet chicken out and just get the hoody.

did I? when? are you sure? methinks this may be a case of mistaken identity, I love cashmere! but if it was me, I beg forgiveness. Now spill, is it any good or not?
