How To Wash Cashmere | Alan Paine Knitwear
Can I Wash My Cashmere Jumper?
Yes, you can wash your cashmere. Hand washing is preferred, but some washing machines have a delicate cycle that can be used with a specialist cashmere shampoo. Avoid fabric softener as it can cause pilling. Always make sure the temperature is a maximum of 30 degrees.
Hand washing your cashmere might seem like a chore, but it is actually very simple. Use lukewarm or cold water with a teaspoon of cashmere shampoo and gently squeeze your garment until it is clean.
How To Dry Cashmere Jumpers
Laying your cashmere flat in an airing cupboard or on a flat surface for 24 hours is the best way to dry your garment. If it has been hand washed, it can help to roll it in a clean, dry towel first to remove any excess water. You must never place cashmere into a tumble dryer and you should avoid hanging it on a washing line, as the fabric will be at risk of stretching.
Can You Iron Cashmere?
We do not recommend ironing your cashmere clothing. For the safest and best finish, steaming is always preferable, as ironing can flatten the natural pile of the yarn and pull the garment out of shape. Holding a steam iron over your cashmere without pressing down will remove creases quickly and is an effective alternative to a dedicated steamer.
Using a cashmere spray can help keep your garment fresh between washes, and many sprays are designed to naturally repel moths and other bugs. If cared for correctly, cashmere clothing will last for years. Follow these instructions to keep your cashmere looking as good as new. At Alan Paine, we offer a wide variety of fully fashioned and hand‑finished cashmere jumpers, all made from 100 percent luxurious cashmere.
