I do stuff like this all the time, too.
I've been reading about recycling cashmere from GW. Anyone have suggestions what to look for before buying?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know what the seams should look like and all that. What I'm wondering about is what types of blends and such I should be looking for.

Not sure SD. Wish I would have known earlier as there was a lady in our GW who bought two yesterday to recycle. Didn't hear her whole conversation with the clerk and it was so busy in there or else I would have asked her more details for you!
