Cashmere

Cashmere is a luxury fiber that comes from the soft undercoat hairs of cashmere goats. These fibers are hand combed from the goat during the molting season, and then sorted, washed, dyed, and spun into cashmere yarn. Cashmere is soft, lightweight, and insulating which is why it’s used in high-end clothing and textiles. 

As a natural fiber, there is special care that needs to be taken to keep it looking and performing at its best. When cared for correctly, cashmere can last a lifetime and it becomes softer with age. 

This is the reason why during our research for materials for LIVLY we knew this was the best item to compliment and add to our soft world.

It isn't recommended to wash or dry clean your wool and cashmere after every use, as it can damage the yarns that make up the items. While how often you wash the cashmere pieces ultimately comes down to personal preference, you can follow the steps outlined below for the best care.
