Cashmere is one of the most luxurious natural fibers in the world - but it is also delicate. With the right care, a cashmere garment can last for many years, becoming softer and more beautiful over time.

At Gayatri Pashmina Inc., we believe caring for cashmere is part of respecting the craftsmanship and people behind it.

Wash Less, Care More

Cashmere does not need frequent washing. Overwashing can weaken fibers and reduce softness. Often, simply airing the garment after wear is enough.

When washing is needed:

• Wash only after several wears

• Turn the garment inside out

• Use cold water

Less washing means longer life.

Hand Wash Is Always Best

Hand washing is the safest way to clean cashmere. Use a mild detergent specifically designed for wool or cashmere.

Steps to follow:

• Gently soak, do not rub

• Lightly squeeze out water

• Never wring or twist

Gentle handling protects the natural fibers.

Dry Flat, Never Hang

Cashmere should always be dried flat on a clean towel. Hanging a wet garment can stretch it out of shape.

Avoid:

• Tumble drying

• Direct sunlight

• Heat sources

Patience during drying preserves shape and softness.

Store with Care

When not in use, cashmere should be stored folded, not hung. Clean garments before storage to avoid attracting moths.

Good storage tips:

• Use breathable cotton bags

• Avoid plastic covers

• Add natural moth repellents like cedar

Proper storage keeps cashmere fresh season after season.

Pilling Is Normal

Small pills may appear, especially in high-friction areas. This is natural and does not mean poor quality.

Use a cashmere comb or fabric shaver gently to remove pills without damaging the garment.

A Little Care Goes a Long Way

Caring for cashmere is simple but important. With thoughtful handling, your cashmere will remain soft, warm, and elegant for years.

At Gayatri Pashmina, we create cashmere meant to be worn, loved, and cared for—not replaced.

Conclusion

Proper care protects not only the garment, but also the craftsmanship behind it. When you care for cashmere properly, you extend its life and honor the effort that went into making it.

Because true luxury is meant to last.
