In general, dry cleaning is the preferred method of washing for pashmina and cashmere care. However, you can hand wash occassionally if you are careful and follow a few guidelines that are listed below. We do suggest washing it before first use to make sure the natural vegetable dyes do not bleed. In general, dry cleaning is the preferred method of washing for pashmina and cashmere care. However, you can hand wash occassionally if you are careful and follow a few guidelines that are listed below. We do suggest washing it before first use to make sure the natural vegetable dyes do not bleed. To wash by hand, first use very cold water. You may add a little soft detergent such as baby shampoo or Woolite if you wish but please be certain the detergent is completely dissolved first. Then wash very gently by hand while being very careful with the hand-tied tassels if you are washing a pashmina accessory. After washing, please do not wring dry. Simply lay it flat to dry. Once dry, you may warm iron but it is best to put a piece of paper or cloth between the iron and the fabric. That's it. Proper pashmina and cashmere care is actually easy. Now it is time to enjoy! |

Pashmina products are usually made of 100% Pashmina wool and different ratios of Pashmina wool and pure silk. 100% Pashmina products are suitable for very cold weather during the winters, whereas the 70% Pashmina / 30% silk products are heavier, smoother and softer, so they can be worn all year round to give you most fashionable look and warmth.
