Care guide: Cashmere & wool

1. Air before washing

Wool and cashmere are naturally breathable materials and often do not need frequent washing. Hanging garments out for airing or gently spot cleaning small stains is often enough to freshen them up between wears.

2. Wash gently

When it is time to wash, choose hand wash cold, max 30°C, and use a mild detergent made for wool. Avoid fabric softener and always use a laundry bag to help protect delicate fibres and thoughtful details.

3. Dry flat to keep the shape

Never wring, never tumble dry. Gently press out excess water, reshape the garment by hand and lay it flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. This keeps the fibres intact and the shape exactly as it should be.

4. Store it right

Fold, never hang. Wool and cashmere lose their shape on a hanger over time. Store folded in a drawer or on a shelf, and keep cedar nearby if you are putting pieces away for the season.

5. Made with care

The wool in Newbie’s certified pieces is carefully sourced and independently certified according to the Responsible Wool Standard, tracing the material from farm to finished garment. This means the certification supports responsible animal welfare and land management practices throughout the production process. Look for the RWS mark on the label.
