Caring for Your Baby’s Cashmere

Cashmere is a durable, natural material that can last for years, even with the delicate needs of babywear, as long as it’s properly cared for. By following our care guide below, you’ll learn how to wash, dry, and store your baby’s cashmere pieces to keep them soft, cosy, and beautiful for years to come.

Washing

• Avoid washing cashmere too frequently. Let your baby’s cashmere air out between uses and only wash when truly necessary. If a small stain occurs, spot-clean the area rather than washing the entire garment.

• When washing is needed, use a gentle detergent designed for wool. Always hand wash in cold water to preserve the delicate fibers. Never wring or twist cashmere, as this can damage the fabric.

Drying

• After washing, lay the cashmere flat on a clean towel to dry. This helps maintain the garment’s shape and prevents stretching. Avoid hanging, as this can cause the fabric to lose its form.

• Never use a tumble dryer, as heat can shrink and damage cashmere.

Maintenance

• Pilling is a natural occurrence with cashmere, especially in babywear due to frequent use. This often happens in areas prone to friction, like under the arms. Use a gentle cashmere comb or lint remover to carefully remove pills. Over time, pilling will reduce with proper care.

• For brushed cashmere pieces, use a soft wool brush to smooth and maintain the fabric’s surface.

• Steaming is an excellent way to refresh cashmere and keep it soft and wrinkle-free. Steam gently after removing any pilling to ensure the garment looks its best.

Storage

• Fold babies cashmere flat and store it on a shelf or in a drawer. Avoid hanging garments, as this can stretch the fabric and alter its shape.

• When storing for longer periods, ensure the pieces are clean and dry, and consider using a breathable fabric bag to protect them.

With a little extra care, your baby’s cashmere can stay as soft and luxurious as the day you brought it home. These timeless pieces can be cherished and even passed down to siblings or future generations.
