Cashmere sweaters are an investment in comfort and style, but they require proper care to maintain their softness and shape. With a few simple habits, you can enjoy your cashmere for decades.
First, washing: always hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent designed for wool or cashmere. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, which can damage fibers. Gently squeeze the water out—never wring or twist. To dry, lay the sweater flat on a towel, reshaping it to its original dimensions. Avoid hanging, which can stretch the shoulders. If you must machine wash, use a mesh bag and a wool cycle, but hand washing is safest.
Storage is equally important. Fold sweaters rather than hanging them to prevent stretching. Use padded hangers only for short-term storage. Before storing, ensure the sweater is clean, as moths are attracted to food stains and sweat. Place folded sweaters in a breathable cotton bag or a clean pillowcase. Add cedar blocks or lavender sachets to deter moths, but avoid direct contact with the sweater. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
For pilling, use a cashmere comb or fabric shaver gently. Remove pills after each wear to keep the surface smooth. If you notice a loose thread, don't pull it; instead, use a needle to weave it back in. Rotate your sweaters to avoid excessive wear on any one piece.
