Yup, I’ve never once in my life paid any attention to any of this, and I only ruined one sweater once. My wife was not happy, it was a brand new cashmere sweater from some brand name. Still though, if that’s my only screw up and amortized over a lifetime of not caring about this, still positive ROI for me. Twist ending: we saved the severely shrunken fancy sweater and now it fits my kids, so not a total loss.

This has been my experience as well. They should simplify these to just TEXTILE CARE SYMBOL CASHMERE SWEATER and TEXTILE CARE SYMBOL EVERYTHING ELSE.

If you wash the sweater in conditioner and lukewarm water you can (carefully) pull it into its original shape. #lifehack

I probably mean ”soak” or ”handwash” rather than wash; I’m sure there’s an instructional video somewhere on the net.
