Love Your Cashmere: A Gentle Guide to Keeping Your Treasured Pieces Soft, Cozy, and Timeless.

Cashmere isn’t just a fabric—it’s a whisper of luxury, a hug from nature, and a testament to craftsmanship (especially when it’s lovingly made by hands like ours at Anitya! ). But like all good things, cashmere asks for a little care in return. Treat it kindly, and it’ll reward you with years of softness, warmth, and that irreplaceable feeling of being cherished.

Here’s how to keep your cashmere looking and feeling like the treasure it is:

1. Wash Less, Love More

Cashmere thrives on minimalism. Unlike your gym socks, it doesn’t need frequent washing. Air it out between wears, spot-clean tiny spills with a damp cloth, and wash only when truly needed.

When you do wash:

• Handwash in cool water with a mild detergent (baby shampoo works wonders!).

• Never wring or twist—gently squeeze out water, then roll the piece in a clean towel to absorb moisture.

• Lay flat to dry on a towel, reshaping as it dries. (Sunlight is cashmere’s frenemy—dry indoors to avoid fading!)

2. Store Like a Zen Master

Cashmere hates clutter. Fold it neatly—never hang—to avoid stretching. Tuck it in a drawer or shelf, and add a sachet of dried lavender or cedar to keep moths at bay (they’re crafty, but natural scents deter them!).

3. Pilling Happens—Here’s the Fix

Those tiny fuzz balls? They’re normal, especially in the early days! They’re just proof your cashmere is getting cozy with the world. Use a cashmere comb or a gentle fabric shaver to remove pills, and remember: a little patience goes a long way.

4. Wear It Mindfully

Cashmere loves you back, but it’s delicate. Avoid rough surfaces (like Velcro or backpacks) and heavy jewelry that might snag it. Rotate your pieces to give them rest between wears—this helps them keep their shape and magic.

5. Pass It On (Or Repurpose!)

When the time comes to part with a piece, don’t toss it! Gift it to someone special, donate it, or upcycle it into mittens, a scarf, or even a pillowcase. Cashmere’s soul lasts far beyond trends.

Why This Matters to Us at Anitya

Every cashmere piece we create is spun with care by Nepali artisans who’ve honed their craft for generations. When you care for your cashmere, you’re honoring their time, skill, and the Himalayan heritage woven into every thread. You’re also choosing sustainability—because a well-loved garment is a small act of rebellion against fast fashion.
