I heated it because even though it was bought at LL Bean, it made in China, and i didn't want to take a chance on getting Bedbugs...

I would have guessed that putting cashmere in the dryer on high heat would be a bad thing. Has anyone else done this? Does this work? Ummm yeah, what?

All of my cashmere is thrift from stores on both coasts. Seattle had a ton of gorgeous barely used cashmere sweaters for super cheap and so did Boston. It's a feeling of triumph to get an amazing deal on something so beautiful that has actual value, as in keeping my skinny ass warm and cute. Thanks for your awesome blog btw, so cool to find good sense and good taste in one place. ( : Dude, epic indeed! All of my cashmere is thrift from stores on both coasts.
