Cashmere Care Guide
HOW TO: LOOK AFTER CASHMERE
Delicate, luxurious and irresistibly soft – those are just a few reasons why we adore wearing cashmere so much. We love this natural fiber in a number of different guises, whether it’s the comfiest sweaters, warm cardigans or cozy accessories. But to ensure yours lasts for as long as possible, you have to show it some necessary TLC. Keep scrolling to uncover the 3 steps to caring for your cashmere…
HAND WASH YOUR CASHMERE
First comes first. Turn your cashmere piece inside out to prevent pilling. Soak your cashmere for 15 minutes in lukewarm water, swishing gentle. If a washing machine is used, ensure a delicate cycle at max. 30 degrees. Use a cashmere-safe detergent.
DRY YOUR CASHMERE
Layout on a towel to air dry. Press to remove excess water. Still soaked? Roll the towel around the cashmere, unroll, lay your piece flat. Never wring the material. Gentle shape by hand. Steam or iron inside out on the gentlest setting. Keep the iron moving!
Pro tip: Do not tumble dry.
STORE YOUR CASHMERE
Fold don’t hang. Stow away your cashmere in a breathable storage bag. Keep the area sans dust. Store with cedar balls to avoid moths. Give your cashmere pieces a waft once per month.
Pro tip: Do not fold and store dirty cashmere—moths love dirt and stains!Â
