Aftercare Guide

Hand-washing your cashmere, wool & mohair

Fill a basin with lukewarm water — never hot, as hot water can shrink the fibres — and add a cap of our Lona Scott Delicates Laundry Detergent. Mix well and allow the garment to soak for a few minutes, gently massaging the detergent into the fabric as you hand-wash. Once washed, shape the garment into a loose ball and press it against the side of the basin to remove excess water. Avoid stretching or twisting, which can pull it out of shape.

We recommend using around 10ml per jumper or for 2–3 scarves, as the detergent is concentrated. For larger washes or multiple items, simply double the amount.

Latch hook

Repair your favourite knitwear with ease using the Lona Scott Cashmere Latch Hook. In this video, we demonstrate how the hook catches a dropped stitch and draws it back up through the knit to close a small hole, without damaging the fibres — restoring your cashmere to a neat, polished finish. Compact, precise and simple to use, it is an essential tool for maintaining luxury knitwear.

Snag needle

Effortlessly repair small snags with the Lona Scott Needle for Fixing Pulls. In this video, we show how to use the fine, textured needle to draw loose threads back through your cashmere or wool garment, restoring a smooth, even surface in seconds. It is a quick and gentle way to keep your knitwear looking immaculate, without the need for professional repair.

Using the comb

For essential aftercare and maintenance, use our Cashmere & Wool Comb, gliding it in one direction across the fabric in short, soft strokes to delicately remove any pills or imperfections.

Protecting against moths

For best results, store your garments clean and folded in our Cashmere Storage Bag, which preserves each garment's shape and helps keep unwanted bugs and moths away. The natural cedarwood block at the back of the bag helps repel the moths that can damage cashmere fibres.

Lavender & cedarwood sachets

For added care and freshness, our Lavender & Cedarwood Sachets offer a natural way to protect your fabrics while keeping your storage spaces beautifully scented. The soothing scent of lavender and cedarwood helps deter moths and maintain the quality of natural fibres. Each sachet is individually sealed for longer-lasting freshness and can be hung in a wardrobe or folded neatly into drawers. Housed in a reusable pouch, they can be refreshed with a few drops of essential oils for long-lasting protection.
