Cashmere Care

You don’t need to wash your cashmere after each wear but do make sure that your pieces are kept clean to avoid attracting moths. For our plain knit and fine knit pieces, we recommend hand washing with a special cashmere detergent, or using a washing machine with a delicate, no spin hand wash or wool setting at a maximum temperature of 30°C. We always recommend placing your cashmere piece in a laundry bag before putting it in the washing machine. If there are any stains or more substantial cleaning required, we recommend using a dry cleaning service. For our brushed and bouclé cashmere pieces, we recommend professional cleaning services only.

Dry your cashmere by laying it flat on a towel, rolling it loosely, then pressing it lightly and allowing it to air dry flat. Avoid hanging your cashmere to reduce the risk of stretching.

To remove creases from your cashmere, turn the piece inside out and lay it flat. Turn the iron to the lowest heat setting and avoid direct contact between the iron and the cashmere by laying a damp cloth between them. If using a hand held steamer, keep some distance between the hot handle face and the garment.

Store your cashmere away from direct sunlight, in a cool and dark drawer or shelf space. Keep your piece folded as hanging it will risk it losing its shape. Cedarwood balls are a natural repellent of moths – place them close to your piece and replace them annually. For longer periods of storing, keep your cashmere in a breathable bag.

Some pilling is normal over time, due to the natural friction of everyday wear. To remove any pills that appear, lay the piece flat and brush it using the LISA YANG cashmere comb.
