Cashmere sweaters - how to take care?

[amber88]

dry clean all the way- a nice sweater needs to be babied lol
the dry cleaners also 'defluff' the item too- so you dont need to do it yourself (ive made a hole in a tshirt before using a 'defluffer'

I use Wool and Cashmere Shampoo from The Laundress and handwash. So far it's worked great. They come out so soft and comfy.

Thanks for the great care tips! Any experience with washing cashmere blends? I have a Inhabit sweater that is 89% cashmere, the rest polyamide and spandex. Machine, hand, or dryclean?

cashmere blends have a tendency to fluff up into those balls too, so i just dryclean em to save the hassle lol
You can handwash it too though (cool water though)
