How to Care for Cashmere and Make It Last
Cashmere is more than a fabric—it’s an investment in comfort, quality, and timeless style.
At Solova Move, we believe luxury should live beautifully for years, not just a season. Knowing how to care for your cashmere will help preserve its softness, shape, and elegance—whether you own a sweater, cardigan, or scarf.
Why Cashmere Is Worth the Care
When you invest in a premium cashmere piece, you’re choosing a natural fiber known for warmth, softness, and breathability.
But not all cashmere is equal. True quality starts with Grade-A Inner Mongolian fibers, the kind used in every Solova Move and Solova Daily piece. These ultra-fine strands create smoother, lighter, and more durable knits—so they hold their beauty longer with proper care.
Think of your cashmere as a long-term wardrobe partner, not a trend. With a little attention, it will look as elegant in five years as it does today.
1. Wash Gently
Always hand wash in cold water using a gentle detergent made for wool or cashmere.
Avoid twisting or wringing your garment. Rinse softly, press out excess water with a towel, and reshape it while damp.
You can also dry clean occasionally for best results.
Solova Tip: Never use hot water or bleach—heat damages the delicate fibers that make cashmere feel luxurious.
2. Dry Flat, Never Hang
After washing, lay your cashmere flat on a clean towel and let it air dry away from sunlight or heat sources. Hanging can stretch the garment’s shape.
Solova Tip: To speed up drying, gently roll the sweater in a towel to absorb water before laying it flat.
3. Store With Care
When the season ends, fold your cashmere and store it in a breathable fabric bag.
Add a cedar block or lavender sachet to deter moths naturally.
Avoid plastic bags, which trap moisture and can cause yellowing.
4. Spot Quality When You Shop
Good care starts with buying quality. Here’s what to look for:
-
Fiber Source: Inner Mongolian cashmere is the finest and longest-lasting.
-
Touch: It should feel soft, not slick—overprocessed fibers lose durability.
-
Ply: Two-ply yarns (like Solova’s) hold their shape and resist pilling better than single-ply knits.
-
Transparency: Brands should clearly state material content, not hide behind vague “blends.”
At Solova Move, we stand by our promise: 100% and baby cashmere pieces designed for real life—softness that moves you, warmth you can feel.
A Smart Investment in Style and Comfort
Caring for your cashmere isn’t just maintenance—it’s honoring craftsmanship.
When treated well, quality cashmere gets softer with time and becomes a permanent part of your wardrobe.
In a world of fast fashion, Solova Move reminds you that true luxury is the kind that lasts.
