Can anyone provide a comparison of LP baby cashmere, gift of kings wool, and vicuna? I own some baby cashmere, and interested in the others. I'd like to know about handfeel but I'm currently nowhere near a LP store. I'm also interested in hearing long-term opinions re: wear, warmth and comfort.

I own some of each. All are very nice. The gift of kings is unique as it feels very light, airy almost. The vicuna sweater I have is surprisingly fluffy. Not light, it's actually on the thicker and sturdier side. I suppose it's all about the weave for any given piece.
