We recommend washing this garment by hand: fill up a basin with lukewarm water and a few drops of mild or delicate laundry detergent. Turn the garment inside out before immersing it in the water and leaving it to soak for 5 minutes - no longer or the detergent could cause damage. Then rinse delicately, without wringing it out. To get rid of any excess water, lay the garment out on a towel and roll it up on itself. 

If you want to wash it in the washing machine, always turn it inside out or put it inside a delicates bag and choose a short gentle cycle that doesn’t exceed 30°C. If possible, turn off the spin cycle entirely (or set it to maximum 400 RPM).

Once the wash is finished, lay it out flat and in the shade to dry. Store in a cool dry place. Don’t wash it after every wear, instead let it air out a little. Wool has natural antibacterial properties.

As for pilling? The dreaded pills that form on the surface of a garment are actually the material's ordinary reaction to friction against itself or other surfaces. It's naturally expressed by cashmere and high quality wool, so when you wear it, make sure to use an anti-pilling comb and always take care of the fibers when washing. That way they'll last you longer.
