Can you hand wash merino wool or cashmere?

I’ve heard it’s ok to hand wash some “dry clean only” sweaters. I have one that is cashmere and one that’s merino wool. Can these be handwashed?

Each sweater cost $20 from overstock.com, so it seemed kind of silly to spend lots of $$$ on dry cleaning when the sweaters themselves were relatively cheap in price.

Thanks!

use cold water and DO NOT agitate too much or twist (that will turn it into felt) just let it soak and gently swish. Lay it out flat to dry and while still wet gently reblock the sweater. (that means pull it out to the original size and shape) You may want to start the drying process on towels since you can’t wring out the excess water then move to flat drying racks as some of the water evaporates
