CASHMERE Care & Washing Instructions
OUR MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ANSWERED:
1 MACHINE WASH
Yes, really. All our cashmere basics can be washed at 30 degrees in your machine. Use a special wool shampoo or a mild detergent and make sure to set it on a wool or delicates wash.
2 RE-SHAPE
Smooth the sweater or scarf back to its original shape on a towel and allow it to air-dry. If needed, use a cool iron only to iron out any creases.
3 DE-PILL
Cashmere is one of the most natural fibres on the planet, so it needs to be cared for in this way. After a few wears, you will notice small balls of the yarn on your organic cashmere piece. Fear not; this is normal. Just use one of our special combs to de-pill it every so often. Be mindful not to over-comb, just a gentle de-pill once you begin to see the pills and your cashmere piece will stay as-new forever.
4 CEDARWOOD BALLS
Cedar balls keep pesky moths at bay. If you're folding up your sweater, make sure it is clean, so it doesn't attract moths and pop a few of our cedar balls among the folds, and your trusty cashmere will stay moth-hole-free.

5. CHESTNUTS
Don't walk past them during Autumn-time; they work well as a moth deterrent too.
6. FOLD
Always fold your cashmere, don't hang it. If you're putting your cashmere away for Summer, store it in a cotton or calico bag.
