FAQs on Cashmere Care

How should I deal with pilling?

Pilling is a natural occurrence with cashmere, caused by friction during wear. Use a cashmere comb or a gentle fabric shaver to remove pills without damaging the fabric. Always work gently and in the direction of the knit.

When should I wash my cashmere?

You should wash your cashmere after every 7-10 wears, at the end of the season, or when it becomes visibly soiled. Overwashing can wear out the fibers, so it's best to wash only when necessary. To hand wash your cashmere, fill a basin with cool water and a touch of cashmere or baby shampoo, turn the garment inside out and gently submerge it, and swish it around to distribute the soap. Drain the soapy water and repeat the process with clean water, rinsing thoroughly until the water runs clear.

How should I dry my cashmere?

Never wring or twist your cashmere. After washing, gently press out excess water with a towel and lay the garment flat on a dry towel in its natural shape. Avoid hanging or using a tumble dryer as this can distort the shape and damage the fibers.

How should I store my cashmere?

Store your cashmere garments folded in a cool, dry place. Use breathable cotton storage bags to protect them from dust and pests. Avoid hanging cashmere, as it can stretch and lose its shape.

How should I repair holes or damage to my cashmere?

For small holes or damage, you can use a matching thread and needle to make small, discrete stitches. For significant repairs, we recommend seeking professional help from a tailor or a cashmere repair service.

How should I get wrinkles out of my cashmere?

To remove wrinkles, you can lightly steam your cashmere. If you don’t have a steamer, hang the garment in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes. Avoid using a hot iron directly on cashmere, as it can scorch the fibers.
