Does scarf shedding mean poor quality? Why do cashmere scarves shed?

Scarves have a very good warming effect. Almost everyone has one or two scarves in their wardrobe. It is normal for scarves to shed when worn. If the shedding is severe, it means that the scarf is of poor quality.

Scarf shedding is not a sign of poor quality, it is a normal phenomenon, especially for wool scarves, which will have some floating hair. Scarf shedding can be removed by taping it with tape when wearing it, or by washing it after wearing it. It is normal for cashmere scarves to shed slightly, and you can deal with the problem of wool scarf shedding to a certain extent by beating it in an open space to remove the wool or using a lint remover.

The reason why mutton scarves shed is that cashmere is a high-fiber protein fabric and a very precious textile raw material. It is normal to shed a little. You should be especially careful to maintain it. The wool and cashmere scarves have a loose structure, so be careful when washing and using them to avoid being hooked by nails or sharp objects. If only one yarn is hooked out, you can pull it flat along the warp and weft directions or use a fine needle to pick it up. If the damage is serious, you can take it to a dry cleaner to see if there is a way to remedy it. When washing, you should soak it in warm water below 35 degrees for less than 3 minutes. Cashmere may have different degrees of fading, shrinkage, deformation and other problems when it encounters high temperature. Another reason is that the cashmere raw materials used are not good. The raw materials used for real cashmere products are called raw cashmere, which is combed from goats by herders in spring. There is a certain length control. Now some unscrupulous merchants use the cashmere from mutton sheep after soaking it in chemicals as raw materials for cashmere products. This kind of raw material has no length and poor strength, so it is easy to shed.

Generally speaking, most scarves sold on the market will shed. However, scarves made of 100% wool and processed with shrink-proofing will not pill. The only scarves that do not pill are made of 100% silk. Scarves made of pure wool, cashmere, and blended materials will pill. Chiffon fabrics will not pill.

Many people have encountered the problem of scarf shedding. Scarf shedding is generally caused by the wool yarn fibers used to weave the scarf being too short, or the wool yarn quality of the scarf being poor. You can try putting the scarf in water and brushing the scarf off with a brush, which will be much better.
