Cashmere Care | Depilling Comb

De-Pilling Knitwear Comb - our wooden bodied comb with the Johnstons of Elgin logo, perfect for keeping your cashmere looking as good as new.

What is Pilling?

After wearing your new cashmere garment for the first few times you may find small balls of fibre forming on the surface. These small balls or 'pills' are caused by some of the loose fibre tangling together as areas of your garment are rubbed during wear. Pills can be easily removed by hand or by using a depilling knitwear comb.

You will find that, after lavishing a little care and attention on your Johnstons of Elgin cashmere and removing the pills in this way, the garment will actually consolidate and soften in handle and touch. Like fine wine, cashmere will improve with age if cared for properly.
