CARING FOR KNITWEAR


 

Luxury items including knitwear take a little extra love to maintain visual appeal and longevity. Conflicting information has caused confusion, however it's simple if you follow the recommended guidelines..

Washing your knit less frequently is best. It can be refreshed using a natural wool spray, airing outside and when washing is needed , follow the hand washing instructions closely, using a gentle, eco natural wool wash.

Do Not Dry Clean your handmade knit, it is damaging for the fibers of the wool and the environment!!!

Natural wool will pill over time as it's not treated with a synthetic coating. This natural process occurs as the shorter loose fibers come to the surface with friction..

Contrary to what many believe, the more luxurious the fiber, the more likely the knit is prone to pilling..

A wool comb or Lint Shaver even better in my opinion, used gently and regularly will maintain the appearance of your knitwear .  ***excluding long hair fibres such as mohair and brushed alpaca.
