Timeless cashmere featuring a little lobster favorite: The CRAB cashmere sweater from PAPA LOBSTER combines classic fine knit with our signature crab intarsia. Crafted from 100% finest cashmere in a 2-ply fine knit, it feels wonderfully soft and provides babies and children with soothing warmth. A subtle contrast stripe and the ribbed, elastic cuffs with contrasting edges add understated accents and harmoniously round out the design.
The PAPA LOBSTER product
designed in Germany, handmade in Nepal. Our collections are made exclusively from 100% finest cashmere, which is sourced in Inner Mongolia and processed into high-quality products on traditional hand knitting machines in Nepal.
Decades of manufacturing expertise and the use of two-, four- and multi-thread yarns guarantee a high level of comfort and the longevity of each individual item.
100% cashmere = 100% suitable for everyday wear
"Cashmere for kids" is not a contradiction at PAPA LOBSTER, but a promise. Designed by two mothers, our products have been tried and tested on the playground, at the beach, when baking, painting and crafting and have been rated as particularly hard-wearing and easy-care: Dirt and liquids often simply roll off. And if you can't avoid washing it, simply put your PAPA LOBSTER knitwear in the washing machine (wool wash cycle + liquid wool detergent).
How to care for PAPA LOBSTER cashmere
Cashmere regenerates after every wash and retains its original shape thanks to the elastic recovery of the fibers. In addition, cashmere only forms its typical fluff when it is worn and washed, giving it its fluffy, cuddly soft character. So don't be afraid of regular washing, which makes our cashmere items more beautiful and cozier. PAPA LOBSTER recommends the following care instructions so that you and your children can enjoy your purchase for a long time:
Machine wash
Our PAPA LOBSTER products are 100% suitable for everyday use as they are absolutely easy to care for. Simply wash our cashmere cold or up to 30 degrees in the household washing machine at 400 rpm on the wool cycle with liquid wool detergent.
Hand wash
An alternative to the washing machine is a gentle hand wash in lukewarm water at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees with liquid wool detergent. The cashmere items should not be over-washed or left in the water for too long. Gentle immersion and light squeezing are sufficient to loosen dirt particles. The cashmere items should then be carefully rinsed with clear water.
Drying
Cashmere should never be put in the dryer or hung up to dry, otherwise it will lose its shape. PAPA LOBSTER therefore recommends laying the damp cashmere product flat on a towel or other absorbent surface to dry and gently pulling it into shape.
Ironing
When ironing, the steam iron should be run over the cashmere at a low temperature and without strong pressure. Gentle steam ironing after washing helps the cashmere pieces to regain their shape and, above all, allows the cashmere fibers to develop their typical fluffiness.
Pilling
It is natural for pilling, i.e. small pills, to form after a while due to wear and tear. These can simply be plucked off after washing or removed with a cashmere razor.
