I always wash wool or cashmere sweaters and never have a problem so long as I use lukewarm water and wool wash and don't swish too much. I have even washed pure wool kilts by hand and lined wool coats that say dry clean only. The coats are a risk because the interlinings and shoulder pads are an unknown quantity, but I've never had any problems. I tend to steam iron them when damp. Like Suz, I find they smell so nice when they're freshly washed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-baby-spit-up-does-wash-out-of-cashmere#post-1436299 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 04:42:57 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1436299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to read the post when I saw the title.

My parents used to call them dressing gowns. Think 40's elegant heavy satin wraps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-baby-spit-up-does-wash-out-of-cashmere#post-1436268 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 03:07:09 +0000 Thistle 1436268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For us Americans, what is a dressing gown? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-baby-spit-up-does-wash-out-of-cashmere#post-1436229 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 01:58:08 +0000 anne 1436229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good news Thistle,<br />Shipskitty I have done the dressing gown thing too (though not actually to the car!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-baby-spit-up-does-wash-out-of-cashmere#post-1436090 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 22:09:21 +0000 jackiec 1436090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is SUCH great news :)</p> <p>PS sorry about the spit-up... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-baby-spit-up-does-wash-out-of-cashmere#post-1436085 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 21:53:46 +0000 Beth Ann 1436085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you're wearing your cashmere and nicer things.&nbsp; Yes, accidents will happen, but you will wipe them away and go on.</p> <p>I bet babies love cashmere.&nbsp; It's got to be so snuggly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-baby-spit-up-does-wash-out-of-cashmere#post-1436038 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 20:37:53 +0000 K.M. 1436038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, if only I had known this when my daughter was young! She was the queen of spit-up--a happy spitter as they said. I walked around permanently with a burp cloth on my shoulder. I even found some cute, more fashionable ones. But then again I wasn't working at the time, so didn't have to deal with the issue of dressing up. </p> <p>Shipskitty, so funny about the peanut butter handprint. Kind of cute and sweet! Sometimes I find there's a little gob of Nutella on my hair after I drop off my daughter at school. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-baby-spit-up-does-wash-out-of-cashmere#post-1436032 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 20:30:25 +0000 shipskitty 1436032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL Thistle - love your work! Great save :)</p> <p>When my DS was little I was petrified about him spitting up over my suits and dresses&nbsp;and used to wear my dressing gown on top until I got out the door (I'd stash it in the car boot LOL). Didn't save me one&nbsp;day though when he was about 1 1/2&nbsp;because&nbsp;he managed to&nbsp;put a peanut butter handprint on the butt of my navy dress. I didn't catch a glimpse of it until lunchtime when I spotted it out of the corner of my eye as I turned in the bathroom at work... Still wondering how many workmates saw it and were too polite to&nbsp;mention it LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-baby-spit-up-does-wash-out-of-cashmere#post-1436026 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 20:22:45 +0000 Suz 1436026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I find my cashmere washes really, really well. I sometimes have to block the sweaters a bit when they come out of the machine, but they clean up nicely and smell lovely afterwards.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-baby-spit-up-does-wash-out-of-cashmere#post-1435956 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 18:01:13 +0000 Sveta 1435956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a relief! I am so glad you saved the sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-baby-spit-up-does-wash-out-of-cashmere#post-1435926 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 17:15:57 +0000 Thistle 1435926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DD2 has a bit of an issue with spitting up. She does it a lot, and the doctor said she is fine. Because of it, I usually put my clothes on right before I walk out the door for work and change as soon as I get home.</p> <p>Well, accidents do happen, and sometimes changing right when I get home is hard. (Screaming three year old, crying baby, frazzled DH).</p> <p>So, into the washer on the hand wash setting went the sweater. I then laid it on my sweater rack to dry. It's still plump and soft and totally stain free&nbsp; :)&nbsp; The sweater in question came from Ann Taylor, so it's at best a mid grade cashmere. </p>
