Cashmere rewards a little care. Hand-wash in cool water with a gentle detergent, press out the water without wringing, and dry flat away from direct heat.

Store it folded, never hung — the weight of a hanger stretches the shoulders over time. A cedar block keeps moths at bay without the perfume of mothballs.

Pilling is normal on fine knits; a cashmere comb resets the surface in minutes.
