Caring for Cashmere How to wash cashmere clothes |  |
  | How to store cashmere clothes Cashmere clothes must be stored properly in order to maintain their durability. Here are some tips for storing cashmere: Store only clean cashmere clothes. Dirty cashmere (especially those with food stains) will attract moths and you really don¿t want your delicate cashmere to become moth food. To prevent creases, fold cashmere sweaters by tucking in the two sides about four inches, folding the arms in an angular manner along each side, and then folding the top to meet the bottom. Wrap the folded garment in tissue paper and store in a clear sealed plastic bag along with naphthalene balls to keep moths away. Never hang cashmere garments because they will stretch over time and develop unsightly dents. |
| Tips for caring for cashmere Don¿t wear your cashmere clothes too frequently; let the garments rest for about three days before wearing them again. Keep cashmere away from metallic jewellery, belts and rough clothes like denim jackets. It is normal for cashmere to pill over time but you can minimise pilling by keeping your cashmere away from abrasive surfaces. Invest in a depilling comb or fabric shaver to get rid of cashmere pills. When you consider that it takes about four years for one Cashmere goat to produce the wool needed to make one cashmere sweater, you see why this fibre is so sought after and special. Cashmere is a very durable fibre but needs plenty of special care. With these tips, you now know how to do just that! | |
