cashmere sweaters
Many years ago, I frequented a place called Half of Half Price stores. Great items, very low prices, but you had to be careful. They were stained, or had holes, or were marked the wrong size... But one of the things I found there were cashmere cardigans. Gorgeous, glorious, so soft and warm - only slightly too small for me. I got three - a black one, a red one, and a light blue one. I wore them at home all the time. (I'm always chilly.) Eventually, they developed holes. (apparently moths love cashmere even more than wool. Also, the neck stitches wore out. SO I repaired the neck. Because I loved them so much, I ordered a cashmere cardi from Land's End last December. Also, last December, I discovered the Speedweave darning tool (and its clones) and repaired the holes in my cashmere. That makes me happy.
