Before Washing
Before washing your garment, gently remove any excess pilling - this is a natural occurrence with cashmere and can be easily managed with a sweater comb.
Our 100% merino wool is naturally resistant to pilling, thanks to the quality of its combed fiber.
With the right care, your Lèmme piece will remain a cherished companion over time, season after season.
Washing
For the best results, we recommend hand washing.
Use a mild detergent—think of how you would wash a newborn.
The water should be neither too hot nor too cold, but at a comfortable temperature that protects the fibers.
After washing, it is essential to rinse the knit 2-3 times, until the water runs completely clear, free of soap and any residue.
After washing, do not wring or twist the sweater.
Instead, wrap it in a clean towel and gently press to remove excess water.
Drying
At this point, you can choose to let it dry flat on a horizontal surface, away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
If you wish to restore volume and softness to cashmere, you can place the damp sweater inside a pillowcase or a laundry bag and put it in the dryer on a no-heat setting, with a low-speed spin cycle for 5 to 10 minutes. This step is optional and serves only to enhance the softness of the knit.
For the change of season, you can store your clean knit with a bay leaf in the wardrobe.
