WARM ME Care
Washing shortens the life of wool. Did you know that 75% of CO2 emissions caused by a single piece of clothing emanate after purchase? Crazy, right? We were as surprised as you probably are now! Wearing, washing, and throwing our clothes away takes its toll – not only on our wallets, but also on nature.

More Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
USE A DE-PILLING DEVICE OR A DRY RAZOR.
Pilling is a natural part of all wool garments and does not imply poor quality. Even the finest Cashmere yarns will start to pill when worn regularly. Pilling can be prevented by using glycerine during washing. Pills can be removed by using a de-pilling device (sweater shaver) or a dry razor. The ideal time to de-pill the wool is after washing, when the wool is still slightly damp
CASHMERE HAS MORE DRAPE THAN BOUNCE – BUT THERE’S GOOD NEWS.
You might have noticed it yourself: Your favourite beanie gets wider the more you wear it. So yes, cashmere does stretch. As a fibre it has more drape than bounce and can’t readily spring back to its original shape that easily. Hence it is important that you store your cashmere folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Be kind to it and don’t hang it up either. Because you might have guessed it already, gravity has a tendency to enforce stretching in cashmere – especially while being wet and heavy with water.
Tip: If it should regain its original size, hand wash it as read above and it is going to be like new again.
