The handle and feel of your knitted item will change after just one wash - you will be delighted - promise! "Light as thistledown" is how a thrilled customer described it. Cashmere of this quality will become softer after each wash, which allows the fibres to bloom. When you have finished weaving with yarn, it is suggested that when you clean the cashmere fabric for the first time, please use the shrinking detergent and softener together to clean it, so as to make the best effect of the cashmere product. For any subsequent cleaning, just use the ordinary sweater care solution.
