Each kit will come in my beautiful Scottish Cashmere Australia presentation boxes. So that you can take your project with you everywhere in the kit I will include my linen drawstring bags made especially for me by Linen Works London.

You will find that, after lavishing a little care and attention on your cashmere and removing the pills in this way, the garment will actually consolidate and soften in handle and touch. Like fine wine, cashmere will improve with age if cared for properly.
We recommend that your cashmere is gently washed after it has been used three or four times. Cashmere knitwear can be hand washed or dry cleaned. We recommend hand washing, following these simple guidelines:
