With the arrival of spring, it's time to put away the heavier garments and prepare for the change of season. Sweaters, jumpers, polo shirts, and wool and cashmere vests require specific care to keep them soft and perfect year after year.

Washing: how to treat wool and cashmere without ruining them?
Washing a cashmere sweater or a wool sweater correctly is essential to preserve its quality and softness. Here are some essential rules:
-
Hand wash: use cold or lukewarm water (maximum 30°C) with a specific wool detergent.
-
Washing in washing machine: only with wool or delicate program, setting a low temperature and a minimum spin.
-
No squeezing: gently pat the head with a towel to remove excess water.
-
Flat drying: avoid hangers and direct heat sources, lay the garments flat on a surface 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 their shape if hung.
-
Use cotton case: protect from dust and allow garments to breathe.
-
Natural anti-moth bags: lavender, cedar, or bay laurel are excellent 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 one comb or one soft fabric brush.
-
Avoid razors or scissors that could damage the fiber.
-
Gentle washes reduce the formation of pills over time.
When to store cashmere and wool garments in the wardrobe?
Even in spring, the evenings can be cool, so keep a lightweight wool crew neck sweater or a cashmere blend vest handy for the 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 attention will keep your sweaters, jumpers, polos, and vests looking perfect over time.
