Cashmere Care
Cashmere Care
Cashmere is a natural fibre known for its extremely soft feel and insulating properties. Its fibres are fine and delicate, with an almost silk-like feel. Given the delicate nature of the fibre, cashmere garments require special care to maintain their condition and longevity. It's important to follow any specific instructions provided on your garment's care label.
What to do:
- Always hand wash inside out; it's best to wash every 3 to 4 wears only.
- Use a specialist wool or cashmere wash and press out excess water.
- To dry, place on a flat towel and reshape as it dries, rolling in the towel to remove excess water.
- Store folded in a drawer or storage box with cedar balls/oil to prevent moths.
- Steam or iron inside out with a damp cloth on a cool setting, always keeping the iron moving.
- Gently use a knitwear comb to remove pills, combing in the direction of the fibres.
- Check the care tag on your cashmere pieces for best washing advice.
What not to do:
- Store it when dirty; sweat, stains, and hair attract moths.
- Wring to dry or tumble dry.
- Hang it when storing.
- Stretch the cashmere.
