Choosing a scarf by fibre

This page covers scarves in a wide span of fibres, with pure cashmere and merino the two deepest groups. Silk, angora, rabbit fur, alpaca and mohair also appear. The choice starts with how much warmth and softness is wanted.

Cashmere and merino lead the page

Cashmere and merino lead the page

Pure cashmere and merino between them account for more of this page than any other fibre. Of the two, cashmere has the finer handle, while merino carries the everyday weights. Constructions include loop scarves, triangle jacquard scarves, plain unisex styles and patterned pieces. Width and length matter as much as fibre once the warmth is settled, because a narrow scarf ties differently from a wide one.

The rest of the fibres

Pure cashmere is the softest scarf fibre on this page and is sourced from Mongolia. It carries the highest price of the fibres here. Merino is the versatile everyday option. Silk, angora, rabbit fur, alpaca and mohair appear in smaller numbers alongside them, and that list is not the whole page. Fibre is the first thing to settle, then width and length.

Common questions

Which scarf fibre is warmest for its weight?
Cashmere leads on softness and warmth for the weight on this page. Merino sits just below it. Angora and rabbit fur pieces are warm too, and they carry a raised surface rather than a smooth one. See Merino or cashmere: how to choose for the differences.
What is the difference between a scarf and a wrap here?
Scarves are narrower and sit around the neck. Wraps and shawls are wider and drape over the shoulders. Those sit on a separate page in the accessories section. This page concentrates on scarves, including loop, triangle and long rectangular styles.
How should a cashmere scarf be washed?
A cashmere scarf's care label holds final authority. Where not many pills have formed, they can be removed by hand, and a comb may be used very gently, The Woolmark Company states. The full guide to washing cashmere is How to wash cashmere without ruining it.
