🫧 Care Instructions:
• Hand wash or gentle machine wash cold with a mild wool or cashmere detergent
• Do not wring
• Lay flat to dry
Please keep in mind that cone yarns—especially cashmere—often contain a noticeable amount of wax, which is added during production to protect the fibers and ensure smooth performance on industrial knitting machines. A few washes may be required to fully remove the wax and allow the cashmere to fully bloom into its softest, most luxurious state. Each wash enhances the natural halo and softens the final fabric beautifully.

Treat this yarn with love—it deserves gentle care to preserve its natural softness and quality.
