Contrary to popular belief, cashmere loves water. We are not speaking of heavy downpours, but of cold or lukewarm water which will prevent it from shrinking or being damaged. It shouldn’t be soaked for too long and very little washing powder should be used (or even mild baby shampoo), so as not to tarnish its color.

As far as drying is concerned, you should delicately press your jumper, without any torsion, to remove the excess water, then lay it out to dry on a flat surface. Dryers are strictly forbidden.

Finally, ironing should be gentle. Do not use a hot iron! It is recommended that a slightly damp cloth is placed between the iron and the jumper.
