You made your way through a selection of cashmere jumpers for a while, and you finally think about what you want, but the first time you wear it you feel irritated and deceived because before you find out in small wool balls. This makes the jumper look like a tatty and old, no matter how new it is. So, is this a sign that you have invested in a bad jumper?
The simple answer is no.
The formation of these small woolen balls is called “pilling”. and you should not assume that since the jumper is a pill, it is of poor quality. This assumption is completely wrong. Pilling is inevitable, and there is nothing that could be done to prevent it from appearing in any new cashmere dress.
Cashmere wool is one of the best and softest natural fibers in the world and is a undercoat of Chinese and Mongolian goats. After the wool is crafted and made in the luxurious clothes that we all love, the tiny fibers remain loose in the middle of knitting. When the jumper is worn for the first time, some areas of the jumper, especially under the armpit, pass through friction with daily movement. This, in turn, weakens these tiny fibers, and they get together and gather together to form tiny balls that we see and hate. This is a natural wool process and is unavoidable - and it is in no way a sign of poor quality. Even the most expensive, cashmere lintels of the highest quality will be pills.
But this is a simple accessory for those who do not understand why tablets for fabrics. Most people love clothes, but are not interested in the production process, which in some cases is a shame. To understand where something is coming from, and the processes that it has to go through, can really improve your assessment.
But pilling is not as serious as many can believe and can be controlled. These little annoying pills can be easily removed by hand, and you can even buy cashmere combs that safely remove them. These combs are designed to be used after washing out your lintel, cleaning it along the fabric and removing any tablet obtained. This will once again make your jumper new, and at the same time you can even improve the quality. Combing cashmere, you really help the material to consolidate, which softens it in the handle and touch, and also helps to prolong its life. And the peeling can really be reduced by following its care instructions completely. Small things, such as washing clothes in hot water or keeping them too long, can increase them, but by avoiding this you can cope with the problem.
Cashmere jumpers are different from other woolen jumpers. They need some extra care and attention, and by providing this you will find that your jumper offers you many advantages in return. It will remain warm and cozy, looking up top, and you will find that it is a loyal, valuable part of your collection that you can wear season after season.
