FAQs
What makes cashmere material special?
Cashmere is prized for its exceptional softness, lightweight warmth, and luxurious feel. It is derived from the undercoat of the cashmere goat, making it a fine and insulating fiber.
How often should I wash my cashmere garment?
Cashmere does not need to be washed after every wear. Airing it out between wears is often sufficient. Wash only when necessary to preserve the fibers and shape.
Can I use regular detergent to wash cashmere?
No, it is best to use a mild detergent specifically formulated for wool or cashmere. Regular detergents can be too harsh and damage the delicate fibers.
Why is hand washing recommended over machine washing?
Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can cause agitation that leads to stretching, felting, or pilling of the cashmere fibers. Hand washing offers gentle control.
How do I store my cashmere garment to prevent damage?
Fold your cashmere garment neatly and store it in a breathable container or on a shelf. Avoid hanging, which can distort its shape. Consider using cedar to protect against moths.
What is the 'Ebony' color family?
'Ebony' refers to a deep, rich shade of black, providing a classic and sophisticated appearance.
Is this garment suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, cashmere is known for its excellent thermal insulation properties, making this garment very suitable for cold weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Garment appears stretched out
Gently reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid hanging.
Noticeable pilling on the surface
Use a specialized cashmere comb or a fabric shaver to gently remove pills. Be careful not to snag the fabric.
Color fading or dullness
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing in cool water. Avoid direct sunlight during drying.
Stains on the cashmere
Treat stains immediately with a small amount of mild detergent. Dab gently, do not rub. For stubborn stains, professional dry cleaning is recommended.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash only in cool water (30°C or 86°F) using a mild detergent specifically designed for wool or cashmere. Avoid machine washing.

- Drying: Lay the garment flat on a clean towel, reshaping it to its original dimensions. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
