Cashmere clothing: how to care for it

Cashmere has a reputation for being delicate and difficult to care for. But this is not the case. You just need to know how. Follow the guide!
Pullovers, scarves and other expensive cashmere garments: their luxury makes us dream. And they often frighten us with their care requirements. This is hardly surprising, given that cashmere comes from the deepest layer of goat hair. Each goat produces between 200 and 300 grams of wool per year. Not a lot! To knit a single jumper, you have to start by shearing several goats. Hence the high price and luxurious feel of this material.
Good news: cashmere is a wool that's less tricky to look after than people often imagine. Here are five rules to help you save time and extend the life of your cashmere garments.
1. Space your washes
2. Follow the care label
3. Do not twist the garment to spin it
4. Do not hang the garment in your wardrobe
Another sine qua non condition for preserving your love affair with your cashmere jumper: place it gently in your wardrobe and definitely don't hang it on a hanger. This will prevent it from warping.
To keep moths away, consider placing lavender sachets or cedar wood nearby.
5. Use a lint razor
Sometimes woollen garments pellet, meaning that little balls of wool form. This is not serious. There are lint combs and razors that will do you a favour. Your garment will be restored to its original appearance.
