4. Fabric Care, Longevity & Final Capsule Edit
Welcome to Page 4 of 4 of my guide on The Petal-Drape Cardigan: Soft Shoulders, Cinched Waist. Once you have the right fit, keeping the fabric texture and elasticity pristine takes just two simple habits.

Protecting the Drape & Finish
Cashmere-silk blends are delicate, so I always hand-wash in cold water with a drop of gentle detergent, then lay flat to dry on a towel. Never hang it—the weight of the water will stretch the shoulders and ruin the drape. I store it folded in a breathable cotton bag, not on a hanger, to keep its shape.
When packing for a trip, I roll the cardigan tightly and tuck it inside a silk scarf to prevent snags. For quick touch-ups, a handheld steamer is your best friend—never iron directly on the knit. With this care, the piece will stay soft and structured for years, becoming a staple you reach for every spring.
