CASHMERE CARE

How to care for your Cashmere

We want our cashmere to last for decades, and even be handed down one day. One of

 the simplest ways to minimize environmental impact is to hand-wash.


1, Use cool water and add about a tablespoon of soap. Look for soap with glycerin and

 a low pH value, or cashmere detergent


2, Soapy water for about five minutes. Gently roll and squeeze the cashmere to remove

suds. Then, place it in fresh water, ideally in a bigger basin or tub, and leave it to soak

 for another few minutes.


3, We recommend air-drying your cashmere. Lay cashmere flat to dry on a towel, roll

the towel and cashmere up together to gently squeeze out any excess water. Unroll

and lay the cashmere to air dry. Let it air-dry completely to bring it back to its original

shape, which should take about 24 hours.


Note: Never twist or stretch. Avoid hanging to prevent stretching and never put your

 cashmere in the dryer.


Store:

Cashmere sweaters should be folded instead of hung. 

Store in a dark, preferably airtight spot avoid from moths.

Remove Pills from Cashmere

Pilling is a natural part of the cashmere wear. Pills form from rubbing,

abrasion, and even just normal use. We recommend a cashmere comb

to maintain your pieces. Try our Travel Cashmere Comb.
