Your beautiful knitwear deserves the best care to keep it looking and feeling wonderful for years to come. Whether it's a delicate mohair cardigan or a cozy merino sweater, proper care makes all the difference.
Washing Your Knits:
Always check the care label first, but as a general rule, natural fiber knits prefer gentle treatment. Hand washing in cool water with a specialized wool wash is ideal. If machine washing, use a delicate cycle in a mesh bag, and always choose a gentle detergent designed for wool and delicate fabrics.
Drying with Care:
Never wring out your knitwear! Instead, gently press out excess water, then lay flat on a clean towel. Roll the towel to absorb more moisture, then reshape the garment and lay it flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. This prevents stretching and maintains the garment's original shape.
Storage Solutions:
Fold your knits rather than hanging them - hangers can cause stretching and misshapen shoulders. Store in a cool, dry place, and consider using cedar blocks or lavender sachets for natural moth protection. For long-term storage, use breathable cotton garment bags.
Dealing with Pilling:
Some pilling is natural, especially with softer fibers like mohair. Use a fabric shaver or sweater comb to gently remove pills, always working in one direction. This keeps your knits looking fresh and new.
Refreshing Between Washes:
Natural fibers like wool are naturally odor-resistant and don't need washing after every wear. Air out your garments between wears, and spot clean any small stains promptly.
