Cashmere is a natural fibre that benefits from regular care. Contrary to popular belief, cashmere loves water: regular, appropriate washing helps preserve its softness, suppleness and the beauty of its knit over time.
Washing
- Choose machine washing, on a wool or delicates. Hand washing remains recommended for the finest or most delicate pieces.
- Place your garment in our laundry bag to protect it from friction against the drum.
- Use a small amount of special wool detergent or our Shampoo, without fabric softener.
- Wash at 30°C maximum.
- Never rub or wring the knitwear.
- For machine washing, choose a gentle spin cycle: 600 rpm maximum.
Drying
- As soon as washing is complete, gently reshape your garment.
- Allow it to dry flat on a terry towel, away from all heat sources and direct light.
- Never use a tumble dryer.
- Do not hang your cashmere on a hanger: the weight of the damp knitwear could distort it.
Ironing & storage
- If necessary, gently iron your cashmere inside out, using the wool, avoiding the ribbed edges.
- Once completely dry, store it away carefully folded, ideally in a protective cover.
- Avoid hangers, which can distort the knitwear and shoulders.
