The cashmere sweater is sewn of thin woolen fabric made from the fluff of high-mountain goats. Animals live in India, China and Mongolia - they live high in the mountains, where temperatures can reach from -50 to +40 Λ. 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, men's cashmere sweater looks very expensive and noble. Natural colors of fabrics are black, white, brown and gray. White fluff is rated best - it is believed 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 the cashmere sweater in the store, but doubt its quality? Experts advise a small check: slightly stretch the product to the sides. If it quickly takes 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 more tender and more pleasant to the touch.
Care Tips
If you want a cashmere sweater to last you as long as possible, you will have to handle it accordingly. In no case do not wash it in the machine, even in delicate mode. Ideally, you need to give the product dry cleaning - then it will not lose shape. However, hand washing is also allowed. In this case, the water temperature should not exceed 30 Β° C, and instead of powder it is better to take a mild detergent, such as shampoo. Dissolve it in water and then do not change it until the end of the wash. Rinse the sweater carefully in soapy water, but do not rub or twist it. Rinse until water is completely clear. Do not wring the item or 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 does not fall in direct sunlight. In addition, drying near heat sources is not recommended.
Storage
It is recommended to store women's cashmere sweaters in special bags or bags when folded. But hanging them in a closet on the shoulders is not worth it - things can stretch out. They put a stain on the clothes by dropping juice, tea, jam or sauce on it? Do not be discouraged: perhaps it can still be saved. Rinse the affected area quickly with cold water (but by no means hot - it will only make the stain more stable). When the socks season comes to an end, it is better to put the cashmere sweater in a closet or chest of drawers. At the same time, it must be perfectly clean - this will protect the product from moths. You can also remove gluttonous insects with the help of special plates - they are sold in any household chemistry store. If you do not like their pungent smell, use folk remedies: put a dry orange peel on a shelf with clothes or a sachet of cloves, lavender, rosemary, thyme. 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 attacks of a moth, but also give it the aroma of a forest.
