FAQs
What does 'responsibly sourced' cashmere mean?
It means the cashmere comes from farms in Inner Mongolia that adhere to specific standards for animal welfare and land management, ensuring a more ethical and sustainable supply chain.
How do I know if I'm buying the correct size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Whistles. The product description mentions Lorelle is 5'10”/178 and wears a UK size S/8-10, with this specific item being a size XS (UK 8).
Can I machine wash this sweater?
No, it is best to hand wash the cashmere sweater in cool water with a mild detergent. Machine washing can damage the delicate fibers and cause shrinkage or stretching.
How should I store my cashmere sweater?
Fold the sweater neatly and store it in a cool, dry place, such as a drawer or shelf. Avoid hanging it, as this can stretch the fibers over time.
What is the best way to deal with pilling?
Pilling is a natural characteristic of cashmere. You can gently remove pills using a cashmere comb or a fabric shaver. Avoid excessive rubbing.
Is this sweater suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, cashmere is known for its excellent insulating properties and warmth relative to its weight, making it suitable for cold weather, especially when layered.
What is the length of the sweater?
The length of the sweater is 64cm.
Troubleshooting
Cashmere feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific, mild detergent and rinsing thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade cashmere fibers over time. Reshape and dry flat as per care instructions.
Visible pilling on the fabric.
This is normal for cashmere. Gently use a cashmere comb or a fabric shaver to remove pills. Avoid rubbing the fabric vigorously.
Garment has lost its shape.
Ensure the sweater was laid flat to dry and reshaped while damp. Avoid hanging the garment for storage. If stretching has occurred, careful hand washing and reshaping may help restore its form.
Moth holes or damage.
Store clean garments in airtight containers or garment bags with cedar balls or lavender sachets to naturally deter moths. Check stored items periodically.
