Care Instructions
Hand wash gently in cool water
Use a mild detergent suitable for cashmere, silk, and wool blends
Lay flat to dry on a horizontal surface
Do not wring, twist, or agitate
Steam lightly at low temperature if necessary
Swatching Required
A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. This cashmere-silk-merino blend blooms after washing; sizing up needles by approximately 0.5 mm helps enhance softness and drape and may slightly reduce total yardage. The blend affects drape and gauge significantly, so accurate swatching ensures proper fit and yardage estimates.
