That's a great question! I think the two are close, but there are some differences. Let's consider cashmere first.

Thanks to its excellent insulation, cashmere gloves can be a bit thinner than wool gloves while still keeping you warm. This means you might find that cashmere gloves feel more flexible because there's less bulk. This helps the gloves feel more like a second skin and it preserves your mobility. You can check this page to see examples of that.

On the other hand, wool gloves are known for their sturdiness and slightly thicker texture. While that extra thickness might restrict a bit of movement compared to cashmere, wool still provides decent flexibility, especially if you find a well-made pair that fits your hand well.

When you're deciding between the two, think about when and where you'll use the gloves most. If you're in situations where you need to frequently use your fingers, like writing or typing, the mobility of cashmere gloves can feel like a little luxury. For tougher, outdoor tasks, wool remains a reliable option.
