Wool & Cashmere Care Guide
Intro
Wool and cashmere are soft, naturally insulating fibres that last for years with the right care. Always follow the garment label first.
Quick Rules
- Tailored coats (including double-faced): dry clean only.
- Knitwear (sweaters, scarves): hand wash cold or dry clean.
- Avoid tumble dryers, bleach, and high heat.
Tailored Wool Coats (including Double-Faced)
- Cleaning: Professional dry clean only; limit to 1–2 times per season.
- Spot care: Blot spills immediately; never rub. Use a clean, damp cloth for light surface marks.
- Pressing: Cool iron (max 110°C) with a pressing cloth; avoid direct steam.
- Brushing: Use a soft clothes brush to lift surface dust and keep the nap smooth.
- Storage: Hang on a wide, shaped hanger; use a breathable garment bag. Keep away from direct heat/sunlight.
Knitwear (Sweaters, Scarves)
Hand Wash
- Fill a basin with cold water and a wool-friendly detergent.
- Gently submerge and move the garment—do not wring or twist.
- Rinse in fresh water until clear. Press water out in a towel.
Drying
- Lay flat on a towel, reshape carefully.
- Keep away from radiators, direct sun, and tumble dryers.
Between Wears & Maintenance
- Rest flat for a few hours to refresh fibres.
- Remove light pilling with a cashmere comb or fabric shaver.
Storing & Moth Care
- Fold knitwear; do not hang.
- Use breathable cotton/linen bags.
- Add cedar blocks or lavender; replace regularly.
Stain Care
- Blot, don’t rub. For oil/ink or set stains, consult a trusted cleaner experienced with wool/cashmere.
With mindful care, your pieces stay soft and elegant.
