New pieces, care notes and the story of our thread, sent only when there is something worth sharing.
Cashmere is an enduring fibre. Cared for gently, a piece made from Dinesh Tuladhar ko Dhago keeps its softness and its shape for years.
Always read the care label on your piece first. Where the label and this guide differ, follow the label.
Flat is fashion.
Dry cashmere flat, in its natural shape and away from heat, and it keeps the shape it was made in.
The same care suits our wool shawls; printed pieces may ask for dry cleaning — their label will say.
Use cool or lukewarm water and a mild wool or cashmere wash. Let the piece soak for a few minutes, then move the water through it gently.
Press the water out between your palms, then roll the piece in a clean towel to lift the rest.
Lay it flat on a dry towel in its natural shape, out of direct sunlight and away from radiators and dryers.
Release creases with a steamer, or a cool iron through a damp cloth. A hot iron should never touch the fibre directly.
A day of rest lets cashmere recover its shape. Fold it; hanging stretches the fibre over time.
Light pilling is natural in the first weeks of wear. Lift it with a cashmere comb, working in one direction.
Put pieces away clean, folded in a breathable cotton bag, with cedar to keep moths away.
Luxury is a feeling.
It is felt in the hand long before it is seen. Care for it gently, and it stays that way.
Yes. Choose a cleaner experienced with cashmere, particularly for printed pieces. For everyday care, a gentle hand wash is kinder to the fibre.
Fine fibres loosen a little with the first weeks of wear, most where a scarf rubs against a bag strap or a coat. Comb them away; pilling lessens as the piece settles.
Hang it in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes, or use a handheld steamer, then let it rest flat before folding it away.
We are glad to advise on the care of any Dineesh Tuladhar piece.
