Wear on elbows is one of the most common ways to damage knitwear. While some might head straight to the darning mushroom and cashmere thread, not everyone has the time or patience to get stuck into a lengthy repair project. Luckily, we have a solution.
You can now mend holes and wear on the elbows with our range of Reclaimed Cashmere Iron-on Elbow Patches, made from felted reclaimed cashmere knitted fabric.
Find a colour match or contrasting hues for both subtle mends and bright pops of colourful detail, whatever works best for you and your style. Each cashmere patch is backed with paper-backed glue, which activates when ironed, and comes with a little workbook that walks you through how to apply your patches step-by-step.

Washing & Drying Cashmere
Hand washing cashmere
Cashmere can be washed by hand, using delicate hand wash detergent with cold or slightly lukewarm fresh water.
Cashmere in the washing machine
Cashmere can be washed in your washing machine but we only recommend doing so if you trust your machine. Wash your cashmere on a wool setting, a cold wash or anything below 20C with no spin. We recommend using wool and silk detergent, do not use powdered detergent or fabric softener.
Drying cashmere
Air dry your cashmere flat, never tumble dry.

How To Keep Your Cashmere Looking Its Best
Invest in a cashmere comb or an electric debobbler to remove pills that arise. When using either, don't press too hard onto the fabric as this can cause damage. A gentle press down will do.
Storage
Cashmere should be folded and stored flat to prevent it misshaping. In the summer, cashmere should be stored in sealed bags to prevent moths.
Repair
Cashmere is delicate, so when damage is noticed, it's important to repair it before you wear it again to prevent the damage from growing. We offer a Cashmere Repair Service as well as Reclaimed Cashmere Yarns so you can tackle repairs at home.

"Beautiful gloves. They were wrapped up in lovely tissue paper and lavender. It felt like a little gift I had got for myself. I had been looking for 6months for the perfect pair and was spoiled for colour choice when I found Second Cashmere. Ethics and style. Great customer service too."
