This knit hat was purchased at an airport several years ago. It appears to be from GOBI, a Mongolian manufacturer. There's no tag, so I can't guarantee it, but based on my research, it seems to be cashmere. The texture is also very nice. It's been stored in a drawer since being cleaned. It's in good condition with no fraying. However, please be aware that it has been stored by a private individual, so please keep that in mind.
