Premium Cashmere & Wool Sweater Care Guide

About Our Premium Fibers

Mongolian Cashmere Excellence

Our cashmere is sourced from the finest Mongolian goats, where the harsh climate produces the world's most luxurious fiber. Mongolian cashmere is renowned for its exceptional quality, with fibers measuring just 14-16 microns in diameter—significantly finer than human hair. This ultra-fine fiber creates garments that are incredibly soft, lightweight, and warm, while maintaining remarkable durability when properly cared for.

The goats' natural adaptation to Mongolia's extreme temperatures produces cashmere with superior insulating properties and a distinctive silky texture that improves with age. Each goat produces only 200-300 grams of usable cashmere per year, making this fiber truly precious and sustainable.

Premium Mongolian Wool

Our wool comes from sheep raised in Mongolia's pristine grasslands, where traditional nomadic herding practices ensure the highest quality fiber. The natural lanolin content and crimp structure of Mongolian wool provides excellent moisture-wicking properties, temperature regulation, and resilience against wear.

Step-by-Step Care Instructions

Daily Maintenance

1. Air After Wearing

• Remove your sweater immediately after wear
• Lay flat on a clean surface
• Allow to air for 2-4 hours before storing
• This prevents moisture buildup and maintains fiber integrity

2. Gentle Brushing

• Use a cashmere comb or soft-bristled brush
• Brush in one direction following the fiber grain
• Focus on areas prone to pilling (underarms, cuffs, hem)
• Brush after every 2-3 wears to maintain texture

 

Washing Instructions

Hand Washing (Recommended)

Step 1: Preparation

• Fill a clean basin with lukewarm water (30°C/86°F maximum)
• Add a small amount of specialized wool/cashmere detergent
• Never use regular detergent, fabric softener, or bleach
• Test water temperature with your wrist—it should feel neutral

Step 2: Washing Process

• Submerge the sweater gently, supporting its weight
• Press down softly to saturate—never wring or twist
• Let soak for 10-15 minutes maximum
• Gently swish the garment through the water
• Rinse thoroughly with clean, lukewarm water until soap is completely removed

Step 3: Drying

• Never wring or twist the wet garment
• Gently squeeze out excess water by pressing between palms
• Lay flat on a clean, dry towel
• Roll the towel with the sweater inside to absorb moisture
• Unroll and reshape the garment to its original dimensions
• Lay flat on a fresh, dry towel away from direct sunlight or heat
• Turn over after 12 hours to ensure even drying
