Cashmere

Cashmere Care Guide

Cashmere has a reputation for being high-maintenance. In truth, a few simple habits are all it takes to keep it soft and luxurious for years.

Rule 1

Cleaning

Hand wash cashmere in cool water with a specialist wool or cashmere detergent, or use a gentle cashmere cycle on your machine. Never wring it. Gently press out any excess water instead.

Rule 2

Drying

Dry cashmere flat, away from direct heat and sunlight. Laying it on a towel and reshaping it gently by hand will help it keep its natural fit as it dries.

Rule 3

Care

Run a cashmere comb over the surface every few wears to lift any bobbling and keep it looking beautifully new. It’s a small habit that makes a noticeable difference over time.

Rule 4

Storing

Store cashmere folded rather than on a hanger, to protect the shoulders from stretching. Add cedar balls or a lavender bag to a drawer or shelf to keep moths at bay.
