What can be made with Cashmere
So far we have talked about cashmere, that is, the raw material, and its commercial characteristics. Now we want to see what can be produced with this raw material. There are really many things. From knitwear to accessories (such as scarves). Cashmere knitwear gives a truly particular and pleasant feel to the touch. Needless to mention its proverbial softness.
However, such particular and pleasant garments to wear also need special care. Our goal must be the durability of these garments, given that they cost a little more than traditional garments, and the best way to make cashmere garments last is to treat them with care, or more precisely with the "right" care.
For example, washing a quality cashmere sweater must be done by hand and in cold water, and the water must be below 30 degrees. A delicate, residue-free soap should be used.
Rinse very well, applying light pressure, and if you need to spin in the washing machine, first put the cashmere garment in a laundry bag or other container, such as a pillowcase, and only then can you spin it.
If they get stained, try to remove the stains as quickly as possible by soaking them for at least 10 minutes and then gently rubbing the stain, without "traumatizing" the fabric.
Drying is an important "ritual". Never expose garments to direct heat. If you hang a garment (sweater or other), never pull it, but gently arrange it on a drying rack so as not to force its shape.
If you wish to iron your cashmere sweater, remember that you should not place the iron directly on it, but you can simply apply a jet of steam to the sweater itself, and then let it cool well before folding it.
Another tip: Between uses of your cashmere garments, let them rest for at least one day; this will increase their lifespan and allow "wrinkles" and creases to smooth out without having to do anything else.
Always store your garments in a cool, dry place, so they will be ready at the end of the season to face a period of disuse (obviously the summer one).
