Knitwear care

Cashmere and merino are delicate materials, but when taken properly care of, they will last for years. Knits may pill over time, especially when the knit is new. Pilling is easily removed without damaging the knit with cashmere comb. Cashmere and merino knits do not need frequent washing, but airing after every use helps to keep them fresh.
