Caring for Your KUKHAREVA Garment

We hope you enjoy your merchandise! Each garment is individually crafted and requires special care to ensure it lasts for years to come. We recommend dry cleaning, but in a pinch follow instructions below.

Washing Instructions for Viscose, Wool and Silks

Hand Washing (Recommended)

• Treat stains immediately with cold water - do not rub, wring or stretch
• Soak in lukewarm water using a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly
• Gently squeeze out excess water
• Smooth garment back into original shape and lay flat on a towel to dry naturally away from direct heat such as radiators or sunlight
• Do Not Tumble Dry
• Iron lightly with a cool iron or steamer when damp

Pilling

This can be easily removed by hand or using a cashmere comb. After wearing your new woollen garment for the first times, you might find small balls of fibre forming on the surface. The 'pilling' is not indicative of inferior quality – it is an inevitable consequence of the cashmere fibre.

Snagging

If your garment has snagged a big hole, you should take it to a knitwear specialist for reweaving. But if it's nothing more than a small snag or unravelling thread, you can keep the sweater from unravelling further with this simple repair:

Quick Fix:

• Lay the garment flat on the back side of the snag
• Use a crochet hook to make a loop out of the loose yarn, then pull the loose end through the loop, creating a knot on the wrong side of the sweater

To Avoid Snagging:

• Be careful not to touch or rub the garment next to jewellery or some bags that could be rubbing against the garment
• If you wear a bag with a shoulder strap, be aware that constant rubbing can cause pilling or snagging

How to Store Your Garment

Always store your KUKHAREVA garment folded neatly and flat. The little loops attached to the seams are designed to not let your garment slip off the hanger, but do nothing to prevent the weight of the garments from pulling out of the shape. The longer it would hang on a hanger, the longer it would stretch/grow down to the floor. To avoid this, it is advisable to fold the garment being stretched.
