Care instructions for cashmere and yak wool
Since cashmere/yak wool belongs to the noble hair, the wool is more sensitive than less fine fibers. The best thing for the beauty of your Cashmere or Yak products is proper care. The fine hairs are similar to human hair in structure and softness. The following tips will help you maintain the shape and elegant appearance of your favorite piece for many years to come.
1. Wash the piece by hand or with washing machine in wool gentle program to 10 - 20° C maximum, without rubbing it and using a special cashmere detergent such as Tene-Moll, Woolite.

2. Always rinse in plenty of cold or lukewarm water, without wringing the item or spinning it too hard. Remove excess water by squeezing gently or by spinning at low speed. Lay flat on towels and gently pull it back into shape. Never dry near radiators or direct sunlight. Do not hang up. A cashmere or yak product should be lightly steamed with a steam iron after drying. In doing so, pull the piece well into shape and hold the iron over it for a few minutes. A well ironed/steamed cashmere/yak wool product will fuzz less in our experience.

Cashmere items can also be cleaned. However, we would like to point out that dry cleaning on the one hand is problem-free and gives a good result, but on the other hand can influence and disturb the natural balance of the precious natural fiber. If you look at the outside of an pure cashmere garment, you will notice an almost invisible fluff. This fluff consists of a slight excess of precious fibers and, when it is low, as is the case with a first-class piece - it represents one of its most outstanding characteristics. It is understood that after a short period of wearing the cashmere item, due to the repeated movements and touches, the finest fibers gather together, forming the unsightly nodules. This phenomenon is called "pilling" and is considered normal when it occurs in small amounts.

However, these nodules can be easily removed with a special cashmere comb for fine knits or with an electric lint remover for thicker knits or knits with patterns, preferably before a wash. The loss of some fibers does not reduce the quality, there is still a sufficient number of them. After washing two or three times, the outer fibers will disperse and the "pilling" will reduce until it finally disappears. Now the quality of the cashmere knitted piece remains unchanged and becomes more durable with each washing.
