🧶 Why Choose 90% Wool + 10% Cashmere?

When it comes to premium knitwear and outerwear, the fabric blend you choose can make all the difference. While 100% wool offers durability and structure, and 100% cashmere delivers unmatched softness, a thoughtfully balanced 90% wool + 10% cashmere blend brings together the best of both worlds.

This hybrid fabric is increasingly favored by designers and conscious consumers who seek luxury, comfort, and everyday practicality—all in one.

✨ The Benefits of a 90/10 Wool-Cashmere Blend:

Softness with Structure
The added 10% cashmere elevates the softness of wool, making the garment feel gentler on the skin without compromising its shape or resilience.
Everyday Luxury
Enjoy a touch of cashmere luxury at a more accessible price point. It’s soft enough for close-to-skin wear, yet durable for daily use.
Improved Warmth & Breathability
The blend enhances the natural insulating properties of wool while benefiting from cashmere’s exceptional heat retention and lightness.
Longer Wear Life
Compared to pure cashmere, the wool blend reduces pilling and increases lifespan, meaning your favorite pieces look better for longer.

🧼 How to Properly Care for Nanassnug Sweater

1. Washing Instructions

✅ Hand Washing (Recommended)

Hand washing is the safest way to clean this type of sweater.

Steps:

Fill a clean basin or sink with cold or lukewarm water (not exceeding 30°C / 86°F).
Add a small amount of mild detergent specifically formulated for wool or cashmere (e.g., Woolite, Eucalan, or The Laundress Wool & Cashmere Shampoo).
Turn the sweater inside out and gently submerge it in the water.
Soak for 5–10 minutes, gently agitating the water occasionally. Do not rub, scrub, or wring the fabric.
Rinse thoroughly with clean cold water until no soap remains.

⚠️ Avoid:

Hot water (causes shrinkage)
Regular detergent (can damage natural fibers)
Washing machines (unless using a wool-safe setting)

2. Drying Instructions

✅ Flat Drying

Never hang a wool-cashmere sweater to dry—it will stretch out of shape.

Steps:

After rinsing, press gently to remove excess water—do not wring or twist.
Lay the sweater flat on a clean, dry towel.
Roll up the towel with the sweater inside to gently absorb moisture.
Unroll, reshape the sweater, and lay flat on a fresh dry towel or a mesh drying rack.
Let it air dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

3. Pilling and De-Pilling

Even high-quality blends like wool + cashmere may form pills (small fabric balls), especially in areas of friction like underarms or sides.

✅ To remove pilling:

Use a fabric comb, cashmere brush, or a gentle sweater shaver.
Always work in one direction and avoid over-shaving, which can thin the fabric.

4. Storage Tips

Proper storage prevents stretching, pest damage, and misshaping.

✅ During use:

Fold your sweater; don’t hang it.
Store in a breathable cotton bag or drawer.

✅ Long-term storage:

Clean the sweater first—moths are attracted to body oils and dirt.
Store in an airtight container with natural repellents like cedar blocks or lavender sachets.
Avoid plastic bags (they trap moisture and can cause mildew).

5. General Care Tips

Situation	What to Do
Wrinkles	Gently steam using a handheld steamer or hang in a steamy room
Odors	Air the sweater out for a few hours
Small stains	Spot clean with cold water and a dab of wool-safe detergent
Frequent wear	Rotate sweaters to reduce wear and stretching

Final Thought

A 90% wool + 10% cashmere sweater is a wardrobe investment—soft, breathable, and insulating. With the right care, it can remain a luxurious, timeless piece for many seasons to come. Treat it gently, and it will reward you with years of beauty, warmth, and comfort.

The most effective act of sustainability is simply wearing a sweater for more years. Please follow the care instructions above to help extend its life.

At Nanassnug, we believe the most impactful way to protect the planet is to slow down.
A single well-made sweater should last 5–10 years — far beyond the pace of fast fashion.

With every Nanassnug sweater sold, compared to the fast fashion cycle, we help the planet by:

Saving ~1.95 kg of textile waste
Reducing ~6.15 kg of CO₂ emissions
Preventing ~30.6 g of microplastic pollution

Buy less, cherish more, and let your clothes tell a story that lasts.

The true cost of fast fashion is weighing heavily on our planet.

Around 92 million tonnes of textile waste are generated each year. Without change, this could rise to 134 million tonnes by the end of the century.
The fashion industry accounts for roughly 10% of global carbon emissions, releasing 4–5 billion tonnes of CO₂ annually.

Fashion should not come at the expense of the Earth. We believe slowing down is the path forward.
