FAQS
-
How should I care for my cashmere garment?
Your garment can be washed often, but should not be washed after every wear. Washing your garment will actually make it softer and will help reduce pilling.

How should I wash my sweater?
For Cashmere garments, the washing process is simple. Start by hand washing the garment in cold water, using baby shampoo or a mild alternative as the detergent. After this process, lay the garment flat to dry. This process is suggested rather than drycleaning, which can deteriorate the Cashmere. Moreover, all natural baby shampoo is less harsh on the fibres compared to a regular detergent. Cashmere can be washed often but it is not necessary after every wear.
To avoid 'Felting', a 'No Rinse' concept is best. This process avoids the Cashmere from being overhandled. Not all shampoo is 'No Rinse', so make sure you read the directions before using.

-
Do cashmere sweaters pill?
All natural fibres will pill. Pills are little balls of fibre that gather on your garment, usually in areas of friction. Pilling is a natural occurence and will most likely happen on your garment. To remove, start the washing instructions but stop when the garment is still wet. This is the best time to pick off the pills with your fingers. This will keep your garment looking fresh and new.
DO NOT use a Sweater Stone as this may damage your garment.
Tip: Washing your garment on a regular basis helps to reduce the 'Pilling Effect'.
-
How do I store my cashmere garment?
When you are not wearing your garment, it should be properly stored in an air tight container or bag. Pests, such as moths, are attracted to body odours. These pests will quickly eat a hole in your garment if not stored properly.
Before storing, make sure the garment is dry and clean. Body oils, perfumes and deodorants can discolour the fibre over time.
In addition to storing the Cashmere properly, sachets of lavender or cedar balls are a great way to repel bugs.
If you are concerned about bugs or moths being in your garments, place the article in a plastic bag and place in your freezer for a minimum of 2 days. This will kill moths and larvae.
