Our Cashmere/Wool Blend knitwear is manufactured with Italian yarn, which has a high percentage of cashmere blended with merino wool, and up to 10% synthetic fibre, which might be polyamide or the metallic lurex yarn that features in many of our styles. Our Italian yarns give a luxurious quality and feel, as well as a robustness and longevity that doesn’t always come with 100% cashmere. In order to ensure a perfect wear each time it’s important to take care of your garment.
We recommend washing knitwear by hand using a detergent designed for cashmere, wool or delicate fabrics. You can also launder your knitwear on a hand wash cycle in the washing machine at no more than 30 degrees. For best results place the knitwear in a laundry net and don’t spin at more than 700rpm. Never wring your cashmere garment – lay it out flat on a towel and gently ease it into shape before rolling it up in the towel to squeeze out any excess water. Then lay it out flat on a drying rack or a clean towel.
Whichever method you choose to wash your cashmere it’s always a good idea to gently de-pill your garment before washing it. Cashmere and wool is always prone to pilling – this is nothing to do with the quality of the product, but more to do with wearing it! Pilling is a natural process caused when the fibres in the yarn rub against each other and form small balls. De-pilling your garment regularly will improve its appearance and maintain its longevity.
Store your cashmere flat, in a drawer or storage box with a scented sachet.
For optimal protection we recommend using a sealed garment bag, which will protect against moth infestation.
