How To Wash Delicate Knits & Cashmere

Step 1. 

Fill a clean bowl or basin with cool – not ice-cold – water.  Err on the cooler side as warm water will cause shrinkage.

Step 2. 

Use a natural or delicates detergent and mix completely into the cool water.

Step 3. 

Gently submerge your knitwear and leave to soak for ten minutes.  No need to agitate.  Leave a little longer if stained. 

Step 4. 

Drain the water completely and rinse your knit in clean, cool water. 

Step 5.

To wring out the water, gently press the knit inside a clean, dry towel. 

Step 6.

Reshape the item, close buttons, straighten sleeves and pockets. 

Step 7. 

Drape a dry towel across the top of a clothes airer or flat surface.  Lay knitwear flat on top to air dry in shape. 

Step 8. 

Wear and repeat.
