FYI: You don't need to wash your cashmere every time you wear it. We recommend cleaning after roughly three wears, but it's really up to you).
Step 2
Rinse and repeat
Add your sweater (some people like to turn it inside out) and let it soak in the cool, soapy water for around five minutes. Gently roll and squeeze the cashmere to remove suds. Then, place it in fresh water, ideally in a bigger basin or tub, and leave it to soak for another few minutes.
Step 3
Air dry
We recommend air-drying your cashmere.
Here’s our tried-and-true technique:
Lay cashmere flat to dry on a towel. Starting at the end closest to you, roll
the towel and cashmere up together to gently squeeze out any excess water.
Unroll and lay the cashmere on a new towel. Let it air-dry completely to bring
it back to its original shape, which should take about 24 hours.
Step 4
Store with care
Cashmere sweaters should be folded instead of hung. Store them in a dark, preferably airtight spot with cedar chips and dried lavender to ward off moths and prevent mustiness.
from your cashmere...
Pilling from day-to-day wear is pretty much unavoidable, that's where the
sweater comb comes in. To remove excess pills, use a comb that’s 1/4 - 5/8”
long. Comb in short strokes in a single direction at a 15-degree angle
relative to the cashmere. Turn it inside out to remove any pills on the
inside. Steam or iron on a steam cycle to smooth out your cashmere and return
it to its original shape.
Remember: cashmere is a delicate fabric. Try to reduce friction as much as
possible while you're wearing it to discourage pilling. At the end of the
day, the natural fibers will grow and change with you, and we think that's
kind of beautiful.
