With proper care, cashmere is incredibly durable and can last for many years—often a decade or more. Our products are designed to be timeless, versatile, and cherished for a lifetime. Proper storage, gentle washing, and occasional de-pilling will help maintain your cashmere’s softness and beauty over time.

Your handmade cashmere is a work of art, crafted with care and tradition.

Avoid Frequent Washing: Cashmere naturally repels odors and dirt, meaning it doesn’t need frequent washing. Spot clean minor stains or simply air out the piece to refresh it between uses.

If you must wash, hand-washing is the best and most gentle. Dry-clean is another option but it is generally not recommended. Please see the instructions for hand-washing and/or dry-clean on this FAQ page.

Prevent Pilling: Over time, pilling may occur, especially in high-friction areas. Use a cashmere comb or fabric shaver to gently remove any pills and keep your piece looking its best.

Store with Care: Fold your cashmere and store it in a breathable cotton bag with natural moth repellents like cedar or lavender. Avoid hanging, as it can stretch the fabric.

Proper care is essential to maintain the beauty and longevity of handmade felted cashmere. Follow these expert recommendations to gently clean your piece without compromising its quality:

Step 1: Use Cold Water and Gentle Detergent

Fill a clean basin or sink with cold water.

Add a few drops of a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics, such as cashmere, wool, or baby clothes. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, which can damage the fibers.

Step 2: Handwash Gently

Submerge your felted cashmere piece in the water.

Gently soak it for a5-10 minutes to allow the detergent to lift dirt and oils. Avoid swirling, scrubbing, wringing, or twisting, as this can distort the shape or texture of the fabric.

Step 3: Rinse Thoroughly

Drain the soapy water and refill the basin with fresh, cold water.

Gently press water through the fabric to remove all detergent. Repeat this step until the water runs clear.

Step 4: Remove Excess Water

Lay the piece flat on a clean, dry towel.

Roll up the towel with the cashmere inside, gently pressing to absorb excess water. Never wring or twist the fabric, as this can cause stretching or damage.

Step 5: Reshape and Air Dry

Lay the cashmere flat on a dry towel or a breathable drying rack, reshaping it to its original proportions.

Allow it to air dry in a cool, shaded area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (such as radiators or dryers), which can shrink or weaken the fibers.

While handwashing is often the best way to clean felted cashmere, dry cleaning can be another option but generally not recommended.

When to Dry Clean:

If your cashmere piece has significant stains or dirt that cannot be removed by handwashing.

If the item is labeled “Dry Clean Only”.

If you prefer professional cleaning for convenience or peace of mind.

Choosing the Right Dry Cleaner:

Not all dry cleaners specialize in cleaning delicate cashmere. Look for a professional cleaner with experience in handling luxury textiles and natural fibers. Ask if they use gentle, eco-friendly solvents, which are less harsh than traditional chemicals.

How Often Should I Dry Clean?

Dry cleaning should be done sparingly to preserve the natural softness and structure of your cashmere. Over-cleaning, even by professionals, can weaken the fibers over time. Aim to dry clean only once or twice a season, or as needed for deep cleaning.
