CARE & ADVICE

Whether you wash your cashmere sweater by hand or in a washing machine, it will retain a significant amount of water because it should be lightly squeezed. The best way to dry it without distorting its shape is to lay it flat gently on a cotton towel, which will quickly absorb the water from your cashmere sweater. Within a few hours, your cashmere sweater should be dry.

Your Hircus cashmere sweater is made from unique and natural textile fibers. Washing it regularly enhances its softness and pleasant touch, which is especially important when it's new. The initial washes allow the sweater to shed excess fibers used during its manufacturing process. If not washed regularly enough, you may notice some superficial pilling. After about ten washes, the excess fibers should be completely shed, and pilling should no longer be an issue. If you notice otherwise, it simply means it's time to wash your cashmere sweater again. Dry fibers can lead to pilling, so keeping your cashmere hydrated is key.
If you notice localized pilling due to friction, such as from a bag, we recommend using our anti-pill comb, available here, to gently remove visible pills. It's easy to use simply comb over the affected area lightly to remove excess fibers without damaging the knit.
