Knitwear Care
Caring for Your Knitwear
Your knitwear is made with care, and a little extra attention will help it stay looking its best for seasons to come. Here’s how to keep your favorite pieces soft, vibrant, and full of life.
Washing Your Knitwear
- Hand Wash Preferred: Fill a basin with cool water and add a gentle, wool-safe detergent. Gently swish your knitwear for a few minutes — no scrubbing or wringing.
- Machine Washing: If necessary, use a delicate cycle with cold water in a laundry bag. Always check the label first.
- Skip the Spin: Spinning can stretch fibers. Instead, gently press out excess water with a towel.
Drying Your Knitwear
- Lay Flat to Dry: After gently pressing out water, lay your knitwear flat on a clean, dry towel. Reshape while damp to maintain its original silhouette.
- Avoid Hanging: Hanging wet knitwear can lead to stretching and distortion.
Storing Your Knitwear
- Fold, Don’t Hang: To maintain the shape and avoid stretching, always fold your knitwear and store it in a cool, dry place.
Quick Tips for Longevity
- Pilling Happens: Light pilling is normal with wear. Use a fabric comb or pill remover to keep your knitwear looking fresh.
- Spot Cleaning: Dab stains gently with a cloth and cool water. Avoid rubbing.
