How do you do the seasonal change?
With the arrival of spring, it's time to put away heavier garments and prepare for the seasonal change. Sweaters, pullovers, polos, and vests in wool and cashmere require specific care to keep them soft and perfect year after year. In this guide, you will discover how to wash, store, and protect your favorite garments correctly.
Washing: how to treat wool and cashmere without damaging them?
Properly washing a cashmere sweater or a wool sweater is essential to preserve its quality and softness. Here are some essential rules:
-
Hand washing: use cold or lukewarm water (maximum 30°C) with a detergent specific for wool.
-
Machine washing: only with wool or delicate programs, setting a low temperature and minimal spin.
-
No wringing: gently blot the garment with a towel to remove excess water.
-
Dry flat: avoid hangers and direct heat sources, lay the garments flat to maintain their original shape.
How to store sweaters and jumpers for spring?
Proper storage helps prevent damage and deformation. Follow these tips:
-
Fold instead of hanging: wool and cashmere garments tend to lose shape if hung.
-
Use a cotton cover: protect from dust and allow garments to breathe.
-
Natural moth-repellent sachets: lavender, cedar, or bay are great solutions to keep insects away.
How to remove pills from cashmere and wool?
Frequent use can cause pilling, those annoying little balls that form on the surface of garments. To remove them:
-
Use a comb or a soft fabric brush.
-
Avoid razors or scissors that could damage the fiber.
-
Gentle washes reduce pilling formation over time.
When to store cashmere and wool garments in the wardrobe?
Even in spring, evenings can be cool, so keep a lightweight wool crewneck sweater or a mixed cashmere vest handy for lower temperatures.
Taking care of wool and cashmere garments is simple if you follow the right precautions. Gentle washing, proper storage and a little extra care will keep your sweaters, jumpers, polos, and vests perfect over time.
