The cashmere sweater is made from a fine woolen fabric made from the down of mountain goats. Animals live in India, China and Mongolia - they live high in the mountains, where the temperature can reach from -50 to +40 ˚С. This explains the properties of the material: it is very light, soft and fluffy, but perfectly retains heat and does not irritate even the most sensitive skin. In addition, a men's cashmere sweater looks very expensive and noble. The natural colors of fabrics are black, white, brown and grey. White down is valued above all - it is considered that it has the best qualities. In addition, white cashmere can be dyed in different colors.
How to choose a quality product?
Have you looked at a cashmere sweater in the store, but doubt its quality? Experts advise to conduct a small check: slightly stretch the product to the sides. If it quickly returns to its original form, this indicates that the thing is really good. In addition, it is recommended to choose pure cashmere, not mixed with wool - it is much softer and more pleasant to the touch.
Care Tips
If you want your cashmere sweater to last as long as possible, you will have to treat it accordingly. Never wash it in the machine, even on the delicate cycle. Ideally, you need to give the product to dry cleaning - then it will not lose its shape. However, hand washing is also allowed. In this case, the water temperature should not exceed 30 ° C, and instead of powder, it is better to take a gentle detergent, such as shampoo. Dissolve it in water and then do not change it until the end of the wash. Rinse the sweater gently in soapy water, but do not rub or twist it. Rinse should be until the water is completely clear. Do not wring out the item and do not dry it by hanging it on a rope. Spread a clean towel or sheet on the table and carefully lay out the blouse so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight. In addition, drying near heating sources is not recommended.
Storage
Women's cashmere sweaters are recommended to be stored in special bags or folded bags. But hanging them in a closet on a coat hanger is not worth it - things can stretch. Did you put a stain on your clothes by dropping juice, tea, jam or sauce on it? Don't be discouraged: it might still be possible to save her. Quickly rinse the affected area with cold water (but never hot - it will only make the stain more resistant). When the wear season comes to an end, it is better to put the cashmere sweater in a closet or chest of drawers. At the same time, he must beperfectly clean - this will protect the product from moths. You can also remove voracious insects with the help of special plates - they are sold at any household chemicals store. If you do not like their pungent smell, use folk remedies: put a dry orange peel or a sachet of cloves, lavender, rosemary, thyme on a shelf with clothes. In addition, cedar wood gives a wonderful effect - it is sold in the form of small blocks. It will not only save your favorite sweater from the encroachment of moths, but also give it the scent of the forest.
