What is the cashmere?

Cashmere is one of the most exclusive and valued goat fibers in the world...

This thousand-year-old goat lives in the frigid climate of the Himalaya mountain. They are great cared by nomadic shepherds. After a freezing winter, with temperatures below zero, it's time to shear the goats and remove their large fur that has kept them warm in the winter season.

The long, silky neck hair of the goat's hair is the most scarce and between 4 or 5 goats are needed for each pashmina.

The low production of this cashmere fibre makes it a very exclusive product. It is soft, light and warms like few garments. Not to mention its beauty: it appeals to touch and sight; to the joy of the senses...

How to take care of our pashmina?

Cashmere is a fine, elegant, silky fabric with great thermal power. Our pashminas are exclusive garments that shine with their softness, touch and unique design, but do you know how to clean them?

How to wash caschmere? (Without damaging it)

Before washing our cashmere pashmina, try to shake the garment gently to remove non-adhering dirt such as dust, hair and lint. Next, soak the pashmina in a bowl of warm water and a capful of liquid soap for delicates. The temperature of the water should not exceed 20ºC. Let it soak for 10 to 15 minutes and rub gently on the stains without squeezing (rub only if the garment has stains).

Then, when the time has elapsed, rinse the garment with clean lukewarm water. Do not squeeze the garment, just insert it in and take it out repeatedly.

When the piece no longer releases soap, gently drain it against the bowl until excess water is removed. Then, place it on a clean towel and roll it up loosely. What we are looking for is to remove moisture from the garment for a lighter drying.

Finally, place the pashmina back on a clean towel and allow it to dry completely horizontally. These types of pieces suffer a lot (or deform) if they are hung in the sun or on hangers. Ideally, they should be dried in a well-ventilated place and away from the sun's rays. Only in this way will they last a long time with their original appearance.

Can i wash cashmere in the washing machine?

It can be washed in the washing machine, always protected with a special laundry bag for washing, with a short wash cycle for delicate fabrics and without spinning. The detergent should always be suitable for this type of garment (wool fabric cleaner). Completely dispense with abrasive detergents such as powdered detergents, active oxygen stain removers, bleaches and fabric softeners.

The drying process is similar to the previous one: Place the garment on a clean towel and let it dry horizontally in the open air, in an area where the sun does not hit it.

Caring for your pashmina

We are talking about very delicate fibers, which are easily damaged. Hence, detergent, water temperature and drying are extremely important. In addition, you should make a small effort to take care of your fibers and prevent them from being exposed to moisture or generating bad odors.

When drying cashmere garments, always do so outdoors and horizontally. Completely dispense with dryers, as they shrink and spoil them. It's usually best to avoid them.

You should also be careful when ironing. Ideally, you should iron cashmere at a minimum temperature and without steam.

Frequently asked questions when washing cashmere

If a cashmere pashmina has pellets caused by friction, you can use a lint remover machine, specifically for clothing.

How often should i wash my pashmina?

If you want your cashmere garments to last as long as new, it is important that you do not subject them to continuous and frequent washing. Ideally, you should wash them at the end of the season, i.e. before you change your wardrobe.
