Good to know - I haven’t really seen them except as part of a twin-set look but I wouldn’t have the cardigan part.I think the short-sleeve idea is great! I’ve seen some short-sleeve cashmere sweaters and I think they’re a fabulous look!

@Getting Ready I hope you bought the cashmere ! It is warmer than wool but maybe not as tough. Really you can never have enough cashmere, and vintage cashmere is even better. DD and I love finding vintage sweaters thrifting / good willing. I have transitioned most of my sweater collection to cashmere or merino wool....... I think we had another thread about cashmere earlier?
I wish I knew how to submit cashmere for recycling. I have a sweater that did not survive a teething puppy.
My house here in New England is very old and moths get inside through who-knows-where-cracks. I will not use mothballs.....
And then one off-season it got a little moth hole on the back, just below the shoulder blade. It hurt my soul.....
UGH! Have had that experience when I had wool Oriental rugs -- that was an expensive mess! No more wool rugs :o(My house here in New England is very old and moths get inside through who-knows-where-cracks. I will not use mothballs.
So I can't own much wool because it gets holes in it from the moth larvae. I went through all my sweaters and threw out the ones with holes, which was most of them. It sure hurts to do that. I don't know what's different from the first 10 years I lived here when there weren't any moths in the house, and the next seven which has seen an invasion. I've got them down to a small number now, but they haven't gone away totally. The few wool things I cherish are in taped up bags until I bring them out to wear in winter.
At that point I keep my fingers crossed.
Lucky you discovered them while they were still controllable!I had moths in a blanket I bought from overseas. I looked online, and put it in the freezer for weeks. All gone!
