Aftercare Guide
Beautiful cashmere and lambswool ask for very little: a gentle wash now and then, a flat place to dry, and a safe place to rest between wears. Choose a part of the routine below and follow along, videos included.
Washing your cashmere
Hand-Washing your delicate Cashmere, Wool & Mohair
Fill a basin with warm water and add a cap of our Lona Scott Delicates Laundry Detergent while gently massaging the detergent into the fabric. Mix well and allow the garment to soak for a few minutes, then start to gently hand-wash it. Always remember lukewarm water, never hot (hot water can shrink the fibres). Once washed, softly shape the garment into a loose ball and press it against the side of the basin to remove all excess water. Avoid stretching, or twisting your garments as it can stretch the original shape of it.
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.
Drying your Garments
Lay your cherished garments flat on a surface with high airflow. For the best result, avoid hanging cashmere & wool garments, laying it flat preserves its original silhouette. This drying method ensures your garment retains its shape.

The cashmere comb
Using the comb
For extra essential aftercare and maintenance, use our Cashmere & Wool Comb by gliding it in one direction across the fabric in short soft strokes, delicately removing any pills or imperfections. To remove any creases from your garments, you can iron your garments on a very low setting, by turning your items inside-out placing an additional fabric between the cashmere and iron for safety. Alternatively, you can use a hand steamer for similar results.
Storing & moth protection
Extra Protection for your Cashmere, Wool & Mohair from moths
For best results store your garments in our luxurious Cashmere Storage Bag to preserve the garment’s beautiful shape and avoid attracting any unwanted bugs or moths. The additional natural Cedar-wood block at the back of the storage bag helps repel any moths that might want to ruin your cashmere fibres. For an additional touch of freshness and protection, we recommend spraying your items with a Lavender or Cedarwood scented mist.
