CASHMERE CARE GUIDE

Cashmere is the ultimate luxury, and with the right care, it’ll keep you looking stylish and feeling snug season after season. From cashmere jumpers, to cosy cashmere cardigans.

Here’s how to love it for longer:

Less is more

As a breathable fabric, cashmere doesn’t need frequent washing. Simply air it out after it’s been worn as the natural fibres will release most odours on their own.

Hand wash vs. machine wash

For anything 100% cashmere, we recommend a gentle hand wash. For blended garments, a delicate cycle in your machine works just fine. Always opt for a mild detergent, such as Woolite, for any delicates.

Handle with care

If you need to wash your cashmere, do it gently, e.g no scrubbing or wringing. Treat any marks with care and remember, a light touch goes a long way.

Flat is fab

After washing, lay your knits out flat to dry. Hanging them up can cause unwanted stretching.

Fold, don’t hang

Hanging your knits can stretch and distort their shape over time, so store them folded to maintain their shape.

Protect your pieces

During the warmer months, wrap your woollens in a pillowcase to prevent them being nibbled by moths. Need something longer-term? Airtight storage works wonders. 

Don’t tumble dry

Avoid the tumble drying to help preserve the quality of your wool garment and reduce laundry emissions.

Stay smooth

Natural fibres like cashmere can pill more than synthetic ones, but don’t worry as these can be easily removed with a cashmere comb or fabric shaver. 

How to prevent pilling

We know you want to wear your knits on repeat, and when that happens, they can be prone to pilling. Most common on natural protein fibres like cashmere or wool, bobbling is a natural side-effect caused by wear. Luckily, there’s so many things you can do to make your layers last longer. Here's what you can do to prevent it...

 

  1. Investing in a fabric comb or razor will remove those pesky pills and have your garments looking as good as new in no time. Gently comb or shave the pills away, and remember, pilling should decrease over time.
  2. Wash your wool and cashmere items less often, simply air them out between wears and spot clean if needed.
  3. If you do wash your garment, handwashing delicates is preferable as it uses less energy and water and is gentler on your clothing. Always check the care label for its washing instructions. Make sure to dry and store your knitwear flat so it retains its shape.

While these tips will help keep your cashmere knitwear looking their best for longer, always check the care label for specific instructions tailored to your garment.
