HOW TO TAKE CARE OF WOOL & CASHMERE | pilling, moths, washing & home dry-cleaning | Beate Myburgh

As a young girl I've always wanted to have wool and cashmere items. My mum reminded me that if I wanted fancy clothes I need to take special care of them. Of course it is easy to make mistakes in the early years of owning wool and cashmere, it is a tricky fabric to work with in comparison to your basic cotton T-shirt. The benefits of wool and cashmere definitely outweigh the extra bit of care that you have to put into them. Wool and cashmere is in a different league when it comes to performance in different weather conditions and the length of time it is able to look pristine. My grandmother recently gave me a beautiful coat that she bought vintage, I now have the privilege of wearing the coat knowing it is decades old. It's 100% wool and I will have it forever.
