Lightinthebox Cashmere Tips Definition of Cashmere
The Cashmere and Camel Hair Manufacturers Institute defines cashmere as: The fine (dehaired) undercoat fibers produced by a Cashmere goat . The fiber is generally non-medullated and has a mean maximum diameter of 19 microns. The co-efficient of variation around the mean shall not exceed 24%. There can be no more than 3% (by weight) of cashmere fibers over 30 microns. (Reference IWTO Test Method 8-89). The U.S. Wool Products Labeling Act of 1939, as amended, (U.S.C. 15 Section 68b(a)(6)) defines cashmere as: (A) the fine (dehaired) undercoat fibers produced by a cashmere goat; (B) the average diameter of the fiber of such wool product not exceeding 19 microns; and (C) containing not more than 3 percent (by weight) of cashmere fibers with average diameters that exceed 30 microns. The average fiber diameter may be subject to a coefficient of variation around the mean that shall not exceed 24 percent. Washing cashmere Hand-washing is the gentlest method of cleaning a cashmere sweater, and will add years to the life of your cashmere garment. Cashmere tends to become softer with each washing, which allows the yarns to bloom. Follow these four simple steps and your cashmere purchase will give you years of luxurious comfort and wear. 1. Gently wash in lukewarm to cool water with a mild soap (shampoo will do) and thoroughly rinse in water of the same temperature. Special care must be taken as wet cashmere fabric can weaken and stretch out of shape. Never wring or twist. Gently press excess water from garment.2. While supporting the weight of the wet garment lay the sweater on a dry towel. Ease the sweater back into shape and roll up in the towel. Press to remove excess water and repeat this step with a second towel.3. On a flat surface lay the sweater on a fresh, dry towel, until thoroughly air dried.4. Once your cashmere sweater is dry you will want to fold it carefully, avoiding a center crease. Never hang a cashmere sweater as it will stretch the garment out of shape. Lay flat in a drawer or on a closet shelf. Storing cashmere 1. For your convenience, store your cashmere garment using a garment bag.2. Keep in mind that you want to repel moths, not poison yourself. So try some of nature’s own tried & true methods: cloves, lavender, rosemary, thyme, dried orange peel or cedar.3. To avoid staining, always wrap any of these items in a sachet or, simply tie in a handkerchief.
4. Woven cashmere articles must be dry cleaned only. Woven items include some of our scarves, shawls and throws.
