Wash wool or cashmere by hand in Luke warm water, and never expose them to direct heat.
Fill a tub with lukewarm water and a few drops of mild detergent, dishwashing liquid will work. Immerse the sweater, and swish gently, Soak for 10 minutes.
Never wring or stretch wool when wet. it can be pulled out of shape dry flat .
Cashmere can be washed safely in a lingerie bag in gentle cycle, but they’ll last longer if washed by hand. Again flat dry.
After squeezing out water, lay the sweater on a white towel. Roll the towel with the sweater together to remove moisture, squeezing and pressing as you roll.
To get rid off sweater pills,
Remove the little balls, one pill at a time, using a small pair of scissors or a razor blade. There really isn’t any easier way. But your sweaters will look as good as new.

They are Lightweight, and they keep you warm. And investing in a couple of duvets in different colors and patterns not only keeps your down comforter clean, it also helps to give your bedding a different look for the winter months. Â If you are thinking of investing in a down comforter look for these 2 facts:
1-Fill power
The quality of down can be determined by the fill power or loft. Purchase one above a fill power of 600 or more to keep warm and cozy all winter long.
2- Box stitch
Look at the stitching construction. A box stitch construction, one that forms a grid pattern across the surface. This will prevent your comforter from clumping and shifting over time.
