CUSTOMERS ~ Frequently Asked Questions

“I live in a warm climate, therefore, cashmere is too hot for me to wear.”
Cashmere can be worn in all climates as it comes in different weights. For summer wear, two-ply is the best as it allows the skin to breathe and is cool to wear.

“I love the idea of owning a cashmere sweater but I am afraid that it is very difficult to look after.”
Many people are scared of washing cashmere, however, the more you wash it the better. Treat your cashmere sweater like your own hair and wash it gently in luke warm or cold water using a lanolin based wash. Block it out on a towel to shape and just let it dry naturally, then if you wish, iron it inside out. Have a peak at our care products, a detailed description is available on how to wash your cashmere.

“Does cashmere pill?”
All natural fibres pill a little. If your cashmere sweater pills, just wash it. Pilling is caused by rubbing and dirt, so it is a good idea to wash frequently. The more you wash it, the better! Avoid harsh fabrics on top of your cashmere, such as fleece.  Remember that your purse strap can harm your sweater. 

“I dry clean all my clothes, so should I send my cashmere sweaters to the dry cleaner?”
It is, of course, fine to dry-clean your cashmere. If you have spilled grease (salad oil, etc.) on your cashmere, dry cleaning is the best solution. However, washing by hand in a gentle wash and drying naturally will prolong the life of your cashmere. Not only will hand washing save you money, it will make your cashmere last much longer and softer!

Yes, there are many degrees of cashmere quality. At Mount Cashmere we design all our cashmere in Vancouver BC and use cashmere from Mongolia & Nepal, which is the best in the world.

“When I am not wearing my cashmere, how do I protect it from moths?”
We suggest that you store your cashmere in bag when you are not wearing it. Also, washing it in Mount-Cashmere Shampoo (special cashmere wash available at Mount Cashmere) will help prevent moths. Ensure that your cashmere is always clean & dry prior to storing.
