Frequently Asked Questions

• What is 2.50 cashmere?

  2.50 cashmere refers to a specific measure of cashmere fiber quality and thickness, often indicating the fineness and softness of the material. The number "2.50" may relate to the micron count of the fibers, which measures how fine the cashmere is—finer fibers produce softer, more luxurious garments. High-quality cashmere, including 2.50 cashmere, is renowned for its durability, softness, and ability to keep you warm without being heavy or bulky.

• Can you wear cashmere in the summer?

  Yes, cashmere is an excellent choice for summer, especially lightweight and fine cashmere pieces. Summer cashmere sweaters, cardigans, and scarves are breathable and regulate body temperature, keeping you cool in warm weather. The natural fibers wick away moisture and provide a soft, luxurious feel against the skin. Pairing cashmere with summer fabrics like linen or cotton can create stylish, comfortable outfits perfect for transitioning between seasons.

• Can you machine wash cashmere?

  Yes, you can machine wash cashmere, but it must be done with care to avoid damaging the delicate fibers. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent specifically designed for wool or cashmere. Place the garment in a mesh laundry bag to protect it from friction during the wash. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce their softness. Always check the care label on your cashmere garment for specific washing instructions.

• How to care for cashmere?

  To keep your cashmere looking and feeling luxurious, wash it gently by hand or on a delicate machine cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Lay the garment flat to dry, reshaping it to its original form and avoiding direct sunlight or heat sources. Store cashmere folded rather than hanging to prevent stretching, and use a breathable storage bag to protect it from moths. Regularly de-pill your cashmere with a fabric comb to maintain its smooth texture, and always follow the care label for specific guidance.

• Can you iron cashmere?

  Ironing cashmere is not recommended, as the heat can damage the delicate fibers. Instead, use a steamer to gently remove wrinkles, holding it a few inches away from the fabric. If you must use an iron, set it to the lowest heat setting and place a clean, damp cloth between the iron and the cashmere to protect the material. Press lightly and avoid applying too much pressure to preserve the integrity of the fibers.
