Cashmere is a delicate fabric that requires special care when washing. Here are some general guidelines for washing cashmere:

1. Use a mild detergent specifically formulated for delicate fabrics or a mild wool wash. Avoid using regular laundry detergents, as they can be too harsh for cashmere.

2. Fill a sink or basin with cool water and add the detergent. Gently submerge the cashmere item and agitate the water to create suds.

3. Let the cashmere soak for about 10-15 minutes, then rinse it thoroughly with cool water.

4. Gently press out excess water, but do not wring or twist the cashmere.

5. Lay the cashmere flat to dry, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not hang the cashmere as it will stretch and lose its shape.

Spot cleaning knitted cashmere is a delicate task but absolutely doable. Follow these steps to treat small stains with care:

1. Address the stain as soon as possible to prevent it from setting.

2. Gently blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth to remove excess liquid or residue. Avoid rubbing to prevent spreading or damaging the fibres.

3. Dampen a soft cloth or cotton swab with cold water. For most stains, this alone can help lift the residue.

4. Mix a tiny drop of cashmere-safe or mild detergent (like baby shampoo) with cold water. Gently dab the solution onto the stain using a soft cloth or cotton swab.

5. Using a clean cloth dampened with cold water, blot the stained area to remove detergent residue.

6. Lay the item flat on a clean, dry towel. Reshape it carefully and let it air dry, avoiding direct heat or sunlight.

Always test the cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first to ensure no discolouration. For tough or oil-based stains, professional cleaning may be your best bet.

Your cashmere deserves the best care, even in storage. Here’s how to keep it looking flawless:

1. Always clean your cashmere before storing to prevent stains or moths.

2. Folding protects its shape—hanging can stretch the fabric.

3. Use cotton garment bags or tissue paper to let it breathe. Avoid plastic.

4. Add cedar balls or lavender sachets to keep moths away while leaving a fresh scent.

5. Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and humidity.

6. For long-term storage, fold cashmere in breathable boxes with tissue paper for extra care.

Treat your cashmere like the treasure it is, and it will stay beautiful for years to come.

How to Prevent Cashmere Pilling.

Pilling is the completely normal process where small bobbles or ‘pills’ appear on your cashmere garment, usually after wearing, caused by the delicate fibres tangling together.

To keep it looking flawless, here’s how to prevent those pesky pills from appearing.

1. Hand wash your cashmere with a delicate detergent in cool water. Avoid over washing; less is more when it comes to cleaning.

2. Avoid wearing your cashmere under heavy coats or accessories like shoulder bags that rub against the fabric.

3. Give your cashmere time to recover by alternating pieces. Overwearing can lead to unnecessary stress on the fine fibres.

4. If pilling does occur, use our cashmere comb designed specifically for delicate knits. A light touch is key—your cashmere deserves nothing less.

5. Fold your cashmere neatly and store it in breathable cotton bags to reduce unnecessary movement and wear.

How to mend your cashmere

A hole in cashmere doesn’t have to mean saying goodbye to your beloved piece. With the right care, you can restore its beauty. Here’s how:

1. Examine the hole to determine its size and whether the edges are fraying. Smaller holes are easier to mend seamlessly.

2. Use the matching cashmere yarn supplied in our repair ket that came with your garment.

3. Turn the garment inside out and smooth the fabric around the hole. Use a small embroidery hoop to keep the area taut if needed.

4. Using a fine sewing needle, gently stitch the edges of the hole together with small, even stitches. Work in a circular pattern or crisscross method to close the gap without pulling the fabric too tight.

5. Lightly stretch and reshape the mended area to ensure the stitches blend seamlessly into the knit.

6. Lay the garment flat, smooth it out, and steam lightly to help the fibres settle and disguise the repair.

1. Hand wash your merino wool in cool water, using a mild wool detergent to preserve its natural softness. For added convenience, a gentle wool cycle on your machine is equally acceptable—just be sure to keep it cool and delicate and remove from the washing machine as soon as the cycle is completed

2. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach, as they can compromise the integrity of the fibres, leaving your merino less luxurious than it should be.

3. Lay your merino knit flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry naturally. Avoid hanging, as this may distort the fabric’s shape. Allow it to dry in a cool, well-ventilated space, far from direct sunlight or heat sources.

1. Always fold merino garments to avoid stretching. Hanging can distort their shape over time, so treat them with the respect they deserve by laying them flat.

2. Store your merino pieces in a cool, dry space, ideally inside a breathable cotton garment bag. Avoid plastic bags, which trap moisture and can affect the fibers.

3. A well-ventilated area is essential. Ensure the space is free from excess humidity or direct sunlight, both of which can affect the fabric’s appearance and texture.

4. Keep your merino garments safe from pests by adding a natural moth repellent, like lavender or cedar, to your storage area.

5. For long-term storage, rotate your merino pieces to allow each one time to rest and refresh. This helps maintain the fabric’s natural integrity.

Merino wool is naturally resistant to pilling, but with proper care, you can keep your pieces looking flawless:

1. Avoid rubbing merino against rough fabrics to prevent pilling.

2. Wash with cool water and a mild wool detergent to reduce friction and protect the fibres.

3. If pilling occurs, gently use a fabric shaver or comb to remove it without damaging the fibres.

4. Always store merino flat, in a breathable bag, to avoid friction and keep the fibres smooth.

1. Opt for a mild detergent free from harsh chemicals. Delicate, natural fibres require a soft touch.

2. Wash in cool to lukewarm water on a gentle cycle. For linen, a hand wash is always the best alternative.

3. Avoid overloading the machine. Give these breathable fabrics space to move freely, ensuring every thread is cared for.

4. Wash whites, lights, and darks separately to preserve their purity and vibrance.

5. Lay linen and cotton flat to air dry or hang them carefully. Keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.

6. If using a dryer, select a low-heat or delicate setting and remove items while slightly damp to avoid over-drying.

7. For that impeccably polished look, gently steam your pieces once dry to release creases without harsh ironing.

1. Time is of the essence—address the stain as soon as possible to prevent it from settling into the fibres.

2. Gently blot the stain with a clean, white cloth or paper towel. Avoid rubbing, as it can push the stain deeper or damage the fabric’s natural texture.

3. Dab the area with cool water to lift the stain. For oil-based marks, skip this step and move straight to a gentle cleanser.

4. Mix a small amount of mild detergent or stain remover with water. Test on an inconspicuous area first, then lightly apply it to the stain with a soft cloth or cotton swab.

5. Use a clean, damp cloth to blot away the cleanser, ensuring no residue is left behind.

6. Allow the fabric to air dry, avoiding direct sunlight or heat, which can set any remaining stain.

Linen and cotton are effortless in their beauty, and their storage should be just as refined. Here’s how to keep them looking fresh:

1. Always make sure your pieces are clean before storing to prevent damage from oils or stains.

2. Fold neatly to avoid creases. Never hang—this can distort the fabric’s shape.

3. Store in cotton garment bags or boxes to protect from dust, allowing airflow. Skip plastic to prevent moisture buildup.

4. Keep your linens in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and humidity.

5. Rotate your pieces so each one gets a break, ensuring longevity and freshness.

1. Opt for a mild, colour-safe detergent that cleans without compromising the fabric's integrity. Harsh chemicals are a no-go.

2. Wash on a gentle cycle with cool water to preserve the fabric’s shine and colour. Avoid hot water—it’s not the friend of polyester.

3. Protect the exterior of your garments by turning them inside out before washing. This reduces friction and preserves the smooth finish.

4. Wash polyester with similar fabrics to avoid unnecessary friction. Keep darks and lights separate to maintain colour integrity.

5. Lay your polyester pieces flat to air dry or hang them in a well-ventilated space. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.

6. To smooth any creases, use a steamer to restore your piece to its pristine, polished look.
