Wool & CashmereUpdated 10 months ago
Our creations are made from quality natural fibers that require special attention.
It is important to always refer to the indications on the composition and care label.
Washing:
Handwashing is the best way to care for your knitwear.
- It should be done in cold water (knitwear likes water, but not heat)
- Use a special wool detergent, preferably liquid, powdered detergents can leave marks
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can damage the fibres of your jumper
- Be careful, handwashing must be done without "soaking", otherwise your piece could felt
- Rinse abundantly with clear water, without twisting your piece to avoid damaging it
- Lightly knead your jumper by wrapping it in a towel to remove excess water before drying it.
Machine washing with a wool program is possible if the care label tells you so.
In this case:
- Wash inside out to avoid snagging
- Use a wash bag if possible
- The washing is also done cold
- And the spin cycle should not exceed 400 rotations per minute
- We recommend that you always use a detergent suitable for wool, preferably liquid and in small quantities.
- The use of a softener is to be avoided.
Drying:
Knitwear should be dried preferably flat, away from sunlight in order to preserve its original shape and color.
We therefore advise you to avoid hangers, which relax the fibers and deform your knitwear.
The dryer is not recommended.
Store your item in a dry place, away from light.
Some knits prefer dry cleaning, refer to the instructions on the composition and care label.
Pilling:
Keep in mind that quality wool by definition is a material that naturally gives off a surplus, which is why it rejects an excess of material that forms pilling at certain points of friction.
For fine knits, such as cashmere and merino wool, we recommend using a cashmere comb.
Lay your piece flat and gently comb it with light pressure.
For thicker knits, there are specialized electric razors.
