how to care pure cashmere, yak wool and Camel down

By following these practices, you can keep your cashmere and wool garments in excellent condition, ensuring their longevity and preserving their Luxurious feel.

First of all please read and follow the care instructions: Always check the care label attached to your garment for specific instructions. Different cashmere and wool items may have different requirements because of the knitting art.

  • Air out cashmere and wool: Simply let your cashmere and wool items air out. This is one of the gentlest ways to refresh them.

  • Hand wash recommended: Wash cashmere and wool by hand in lukewarm water (max 30°C) using a high-quality wool detergent. Use only a small amount – less is more.

    Don’t soak or wring: Avoid long soaking and wringing – it can damage the fibers.

    Gently press out water: Press out excess water gently with your hands or a towel. Do not twist.

    Dry flat: Lay flat on a clean towel, reshape, and let air dry. Don’t hang or tumble dry.

    Keep away from heat: Avoid sunlight or heaters – heat can shrink or fade the fabric.

    Steam or iron with care: If needed, steam or iron gently at max 30°C.

  • Machine washing is possible – often even better: Modern washing machines can clean cashmere and wool more gently and effectively than hand washing. Still, care is essential.

    Check the care label: Only machine wash if the label says it's safe.

    Pre-treat stains: Gently pre-treat with a mild wool detergent.

    Use a laundry bag: Place items in a mesh laundry bag to reduce friction and protect fibers.

    Select a delicate cycle: Cold water, gentle cycle, max. 600 RPM. Avoid strong spinning.

    Use wool detergent only: No bleach or fabric softeners. Use only a small amount – less is more.

    Wash separately from rough items: Avoid mixing with zippers, Velcro, or heavy fabrics.

    Dry flat and reshape: Do not wring. Lay flat on a towel and reshape gently.

  • Let cashmere and wool air dry: Allow your cashmere and wool styles to air dry naturally. Avoid using a dryer, as the heat and agitation can cause shrinkage or damage. Keep it away from direct sunlight or heat sources that can fade or distort the fabric.
