WOOL & CASHMERE

Wool is a natural fibre and is known for its durability and thermally insulating properties.

Cashmere is luxurious, soft and comfortable, and incredibly delicate.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Always check the care label on the garment and follow the advice. If your wool or cashmere is machine washable it will be stated on the products label. Wash cashmere regularly to keep soft. Select the wool/silk programme on your machine, with a cool setting and with a very gentle spin (300rpm maximum or no spin). We recommend washing inside out or in a pillowcase to prevent snagging, using a wool shampoo and no softener.

For dry clean only garments, take your pieces to a reputable dry cleaner. We recommend dry cleaning for your wool/cashmere clothes such as coats, jackets, skirts to help keep their shape (excluding: Double Face Cashmere).

CARE

Always dry wool/cashmere flat to keep its shape and away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Never use a tumble dryer. Iron on reverse at a low temperature for best results.

Lint:
It is normal for a wool/cashmere garment to produce lint. This will begin to disappear after a few washes. Lint can also be gently removed by hand, with a cashmere comb or with an anti-lint razor.

To comb your cashmere, lay your garment flat and lightly brush the comb over the surface wherever you see lint forming. Be careful not to pull too hard, as this may damage the fibres. If fabric becomes damaged, it is possible to repair it. We recommend taking the item to an invisible mender, and warn against wearing the piece as this may exacerbate the damage.

STORAGE

Wool/cashmere knits should be folded flat, and ideally be placed in a breathable canvas cover for additional protection against dust and moths.

ECO HACKS

To keep fresh over time, spray with a cashmere spray before storing. To freshen without washing, hang your garment outdoors or in a steamy bathroom.
