Cashmere

Cashmere from CARE BY ME is a timeless investment, created to be cherished and passed down through generations.
Made with love, made to be loved and made to last - season after season, year after year.

Cashmere is a wonderfully soft and luxurious natural material that is incredibly addictive once you've tried it once - both for everyday wear and for parties. Because this luxurious material doesn't deserve to be hidden away and only used for fine purposes. You can easily use your cashmere products regularly, you just have to remember to treat them well so they last a long time - and look new for longer!
With the right care, you can extend the life of your cashmere styles, ensuring they remain a timeless and durable investment in your wardrobe.
It's a sustainable mindset that we hold dear.
How to clean your cashmere, wool & cashmere/silk products

Air your clothes
As cashmere is a self-cleaning fibre, products should only be washed when absolutely necessary. We recommend that you air your cashmere outdoors or in a damp bathroom instead of washing it. This is usually enough to freshen it up.

Machine wash
 If your product needs washing, we recommend that you wash your cashmere product in a newer washing machine on either the wool or hand wash program at 30 degrees and spin at a maximum of 500 revolutions.
Always use detergent intended for wool and never use fabric softener!

Hand wash
Cashmere can be washed by hand, but it often happens that you rub or wring the product, so we do not recommend it. You risk wringing it out of shape or damaging the fibers. If hand washing is necessary, wash one item at a time in lukewarm water and use liquid detergent intended for wool. Carefully lift the item out of the water. DO NOT wring or rub the material. Gently squeeze excess water out of the item with the palm of your hand and lay it flat to dry as described in the section; Keep the shape below.

Stain removal
 Cashmere is naturally stain-resistant, but if a stain does appear on your cashmere sweater, we recommend that you wash it as described above. Do not rub the stain! Just dab it. If the stain does not come off by machine or hand washing, contact a professional dry cleaner.

Stay in shape
Never hang your wet cashmere to dry on a hanger. When wool gets wet, it can stretch easily and the weight of the water can pull the product out of shape. Instead, lay the product flat on a towel without stretching it (or rolled up in one) and let it dry at room temperature.
Avoid drying on a hot radiator or in direct sunlight - never use a tumble dryer.
Fold your knitwear to maintain its shape and prevent it from losing its original structure.
Never hang large, thick sweaters on hangers as they can stretch and lose their fit.
Ironing

You can benefit from Iron your cashmere or wool products with full steam.
This gives the product the smooth glossy surface that characterizes cashmere, and causes the fibers to stand up so that the softness is maintained.
It is important that you do not iron lengthwise as you normally iron, but instead press the iron up and down on your cashmere - so that the fibers are pressed down again.

Natural fluff
Even with the finest cashmere, lint can accumulate on the surface of your knitwear - this is completely natural.
We recommend that you do not use electrical appliances or shave the cashmere, as you risk damaging the threads or fibers and thus creating even more lint or perhaps even holes.
Instead, use our cashmere comb, which gently removes lint. Lay your knitwear on a flat surface and comb it gently until it is smooth and soft again.
 Alternatively, you can remove lint with your fingers.
Storage of cashmere products

Do not hang your cashmere products on hangers. The products - especially heavier items - can lose their shape. Fold the product and place it in a closet or drawer.

Prevent moths
As cashmere is a natural material, it can attract pests such as moths and carpet beetle larvae. If the product is to be stored for a longer period of time, we recommend that you place it in an airtight bag.

According to an old household tip, to keep moths away from your cashmere and wool, you can use dried lavender in your wardrobe. Place a small sachet of dried lavender or a small tassel between your knitwear - it will keep your clothes fresh and smelling great while also deterring insects. Cedarwood is also a good idea.

Cotton / Linen

Our cotton and linen products can of course be washed, but to maintain the quality and protect both the material and the environment, we recommend that you wash them as rarely as possible and preferably at 30 degrees or lower. Alternatively, as we recommend for our wool and cashmere products, you can let nature do the work by hanging your clothes out to air, which will gently refresh your styles.

Crochet accessories

Our hand-crocheted bags and hats in hemp and cotton are not machine washable. Spot clean by dabbing with a damp sponge. If airing and spot cleaning are not enough and they need to be washed, you can rinse them in soapy water, rinse in plain water and then air dry them on a towel.
