A cashmere wool sweater is an investment. You spend hundreds of dollars just once and then enjoy the comfort, warmth and style for a lifetime.

There are a few important things to remember when buying a cashmere sweater. These are the following:

1. When you have spotted a sweater of your choice Pull gently and release the sides of the sweater. A high-quality garment which has typical tight cashmere fabrics knits returns to its proper shape. A sweater made out of loose knits does not return to its original shape.

2. Feel the fabric of the sweater you like. Categorize if it feels coarse or fuzzy. If it feels coarse that is the sign of poor quality. In the world of cashmere, soft is the key word. Lighter-colored wool sweaters are better as they are made out of natural colors. Darker dyes are harsher on the yarn; the chemical affects the softness of the wool.

3. Closely study the knit of the sweater. If the sweater is two-ply knit, it will be sturdier as compared to a one ply knit. But the great thing about cashmere wool is that the sweater still stays light weight.

4. Real cashmere wool sweaters are expensive. If you see a bargain that is too good to be true then stop and think. Cashmere and sheep wool blends have been sold as 100 percent cashmere with the label of being pure. So don’t get robbed and come home with a fake.

The origin of socks is still a mystery for mankind. A Greek poet in the 8th century BCE did mention linings for shoes which according to him were made out of animal hair. The Romans wrapped their feet in long strips of woven fabric or leather to protect their feet from the cold. A very uncomfortable image! Around the 2nd century CE there are mentions of udones in history. These udones were foot shaped and cut out of woven fabric, or skins, and then sewn together. They lacked elasticity and were slightly tight. The first traces of knitted socks were found for the first time in Egypt. But it was during the time of Henry VIII of England that we hear of knitted silk stockings from Spain. Queen Elizabeth I is recorded is history as wearing silk socks. During the reign of Elizabeth, hand knitting became a home industry. Cloth stockings became unpopular with time as people started preferring knitted sock all across Europe. Till the end of the sixteenth century, all stockings were hand-knitted. Then came the first knitting machine – the stocking frame which could knit twenty stitches per inch and it was fine enough for silk even. Further evaluation came to the stocking frame when it started producing rib stitch knit. This gave the finished sock more elasticity and fitted better.

The word sock is apparently only a four letter word but it has thirteen entries for the word “sock”, eight as nouns and five as verbs. There are over 30 definitions available for this four letter word.
