Founded in Edinburgh, Kiltane weaves the traditions of Scotland and the influences of the city into each piece.
Responsibly sourced from Inner Mongolia, the cashmere is collected during the goats’ natural moulting process. This fine fibre is transformed into sumptuously soft yarn that is breathable, hypoallergenic and incredibly warm. Cashmere is one of the world’s softest natural fibres and provides up to three times the warmth of sheep’s wool.
Before washing any of our cashmere, please read the care instructions on the label of the garment.
By following these steps, you can ensure the longevity of your cashmere items:
Gently comb your cashmere to remove small balls of fibre from the surface.
After multiple wears, you may find small balls of fibre ‘pills’ appearing on the surface of your garment. As cashmere is a delicate fibre, it’s normal for pilling to occur with continued wear and friction. In order to remove these balls, we recommend gently combing the cashmere or removing them by hand.
Carefully handwash the garment at a low temperature (30C°)
You will find specific washing instructions on the inside label of our knitwear garments. We recommend handwashing our cashmere at a low temperature and separately from other garments, ensuring you do not wring or rub the cashmere to remove water.
Lay the garment flat to dry
Reshape the garment back to its original form and lay flat to dry on a towel. Keep the cashmere away from direct heat and sunlight. Once the cashmere is dry, gently press with a cool iron.
