Caring for Men's Cashmere Jumpers: Washing, Drying & Storage Tips
Cashmere is an investment and should be looked after accordingly. To make your men's cashmere jumpers last for years to come, follow our easy care guide below.
Care Guide
To keep your men's cashmere jumpers looking and feeling their best, it’s essential to follow proper care techniques. These steps will help maintain their softness, warmth, and shape for many seasons to come.
How to Wash Cashmere
Step 1: Remove Pilling
Lay your jumper flat and gently brush with a cashmere comb to remove any pilling before washing.
Step 2: Hand-Wash Carefully
Turn your jumper inside out and soak in lukewarm water with a gentle cashmere detergent. Move the garment gently without stretching or pulling. After 5 minutes, rinse in cool water in a separate basin.
Step 3: Remove Excess Water
Squeeze out excess water carefully—do not wring. Lay the jumper flat on a clean, dry towel, roll it up, and press to release moisture. Then reshape and lay flat to air dry naturally. Do not hang cashmere to dry as this can stretch the fibres.
Step 4: Storage
Once dry, fold your cashmere jumper and store in a drawer. Avoid hanging, which can distort the shape over time. For long-term storage, consider adding lavender sachets or cedar balls to protect against moths.
Why Does Cashmere Pill?
Even high-quality cashmere will naturally pill over time. Pilling occurs when fibres knot together due to friction during wear or static under other garments. While you cannot fully prevent pilling, you can minimise it by hand-washing inside out with a gentle cashmere detergent. Pills can easily be removed with a cashmere comb or razor.
