“Finish-It-Yourself” 100% Cashmere Lightweight Neck Warmer
“The Finishing Touch is Yours.”
The final and important step in knitmaking is fulling (shukujū).
In factories, this is a standard part of production, but few people actually know about it.
By gently rinsing the knitted piece in water and slightly tightening the fibers,
you can make it fluffy and light or dense and compact — and that subtle difference completely changes the feel and mood of the knit.
At PlejBela, we have prepared a special item that lets you experience this “final touch” for yourself. We deliver a cashmere neck warmer or cap before the fulling process, so you can finish it at home to your preferred texture — a completely new approach.
- The item you receive comes straight from the knitting machine, with the cashmere yarn still in its firm, unfulled state, so you will perform the fulling (washing) yourself.
- A step-by-step fulling guide is included.

How to wash cashmere
How to wash cashmere
-----------------------
Tips for Washing Cashmere in a Washing Machine
- Water temperature: Below 30°C
- Detergent: Neutral
- Wash mode: Delicate/Dry
- Laundry mesh bag: Place one item per bag, up to two items in the machine
- Drying: Flat in the shade (avoid tumble drying)
- Ironing: Medium heat, steam iron
Water Temperature: Below 30°C While warmer water can help remove dirt more effectively, it can also damage delicate fibers. The ideal temperature for washing cashmere is around 20°C, with a maximum of 30°C. This ensures that the detergent works effectively without harming the fabric.
Neutral Detergent Though alkaline detergents are powerful cleaners, they can be harsh on cashmere fibers. To preserve the color and texture, use a neutral detergent designed for delicate fabrics.
Minimize Friction Cashmere is prone to tangling, pilling, and shrinking due to friction. To prevent this, use a gentle wash cycle like "Delicate" or "Dry." Place each item in a laundry mesh bag and limit the load to two items at a time.
Dry Flat in the Shade Always dry cashmere flat in the shade. Hanging it on a hanger can cause the fabric to stretch and lose its shape due to the weight of the water. Use a flat drying net or spread the garment on a clean surface, ensuring air circulation. Never use a tumble dryer, as it can cause shrinkage.
Ironing Tips If ironing is necessary, use a medium heat setting with steam. Gently move the iron so that it hovers slightly above the fabric. Avoid pressing too hard or holding the iron in one spot for too long.
Avoid Drum-Type Washing Machines Drum-type washing machines generate higher friction, which can damage cashmere. It's best to avoid using them for delicate fabrics like cashmere.
