KNIT CARE GUIDE

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR KNIT

Good knitwear is made to stay in your wardrobe. The more you wear it, the more it becomes yours – and the right care helps it stay soft, beautiful and in shape.

Because it doesn't take much. Just a few simple things to know, and your fave knits will remain in your rotation, season after season.

WASH

Wash less, wear often. Wool has self-cleaning properties.
Mostly, it's enough to air out your knit overnight.
Only hand wash your knitwear with cold water and a gentle wool detergent.
Note: while some sources may suggest machine washing knitwear, hand washing is safest to preserve the fibers.
If you absolutely have to use the machine, make sure to use a laundry bag or pillowcase and the gentlest cycle.

DRY

Proper drying is key to maintaining the quality and shape.
Never wring or hang-dry knitwear, as this can stretch the fibers.
Lay the knit flat on a dry towel or drying rack to air dry.
Avoid placing it near heaters or in the sun, as too much heat can shrink and damage the fibers.

CARE

Pilling is normal and cannot be fully prevented. It's a sign of high-quality natural fibers.
Minimize pilling by reducing friction from bags and belts.
Removing pilling by gently plucking it by hand or using a special wool comb to gently comb out the knot – but be careful with fabric shavers as they may damage the material.
If a thread pulls loose, use a crochet hook to pull it to the back and secure it with a knot. Avoid cutting the thread, as this can create a hole.

STORE

To prevent stretching, store your knitwear flat in a drawer or on a shelf, and avoid clothing hangers.
Leave some space between them, as tightly packed garments can attract moths.
