Cashmere
- Cashmere doesn’t actually need to be washed every time you wear it – just a few times per season is ideal. Instead, air out your cashmere between wears. It’s better for clothes and the environment.
- When you do wash cashmere, handwash or use a specialist detergent on a gentle machine cycle at 30°C or lower.
- You should also use a low spin setting, as this will help prevent pilling and save energy.
- Store knitwear folded in drawers, as hanging can alter the shape, and make sure you use mothballs.
- Pilling occurs naturally and can be easily removed with a pilling comb or a fabric shaver.
