Wash your cashmere every 3 to 4 wears
Cashmere loves water: the more you wash your sweater, the better it will look. Hand washing is strongly recommended, but you can also machine wash your cashmere by following our advice.
Use a cold wool programme
For best results, wash your cashmere inside out on a cold programme (20° max), without spinning.
Protect your cashmere with a net
Drum frictions may damage your sweater. To avoid this put it in a net before washing.
Use a special wool detergent and avoid softeners
Traditional detergents are not suitable for cashmere. Their composition may alter its color and its shine. We recommend using a special wool detergent without bleaching agents or enzymes.
Air-dry your cashmere flat
The best way to dry cashmere is to lay it flat on a clean towel. Do not use a tumble dryer or dry your cashmere on a radiator. These methods would burn the fibers and make the cashmere lose its shine. You should also avoid hanging it out to dry, as the weight of the water could weigh it down and deform it.
Gently iron with a damp cloth
Iron very gently with steam and on the wrong side if necessary.
Remove pilling
Pilling is a natural phenomenon caused by excess material. Add white vinegar to the rinse water and use an anti-pilling comb if necessary.
Use moth repellents
Cedar wood, essential oils, lavender flowers... use a natural moth repellent to repel moths and release a delicate woody scent.
