Cashmere Care

Cashmere is one of the most valuable and finest natural fibres. For the love of this precious material we would like to recommend a few techniques. If you care for your Iris von Arnim piece the same way we do in producing it, it will retain its shape and unique feel for a long time.

It is generally true that cashmere does not need to be dry-cleaned, but should be washed cold in a wool cycle of a washing machine. Please do not use any washing powders, but only specific liquid washing agents because these are specifically made for the characteristics of animal fibres. Even a small amount of our Iris von Arnim Cashmere Shampoo guarantees good results. After washing, cashmere can be tumble dried cold in a dryer. Through the air supply, patterns will unfold their original shape and form.

Cashmere is an especially fine and delicate hair. The fine fibres we select can tend to light pilling in the beginning. This is a natural process of removing excess hair, which will stop over time. For flat-knitting, these little knots should be removed using a lint shaver lightly. For patterns such as cables and ribs, please use a special cashmere comb.
