HANDWASH

Knitwear is a delicate piece of clothing that deserves the best treatment. You don't always have to wash it, sometimes laying it outside to give it some fresh air is enough.

If you need to wash it, only wash it by hand and be careful so you don't damage the garment!

DRYING

Press the excess water out and lay your garment flat on a towel. Gently press the towel and let soak most of the water out. Unroll your sweater and lay it flat to fully let it dry. Never hang your knits as the weight of the fiber will stretch them out of shape.

STORAGE

Also for storage the same rule applies: never hang your knitwear, fold them and put them in your wardrobe.

For longer storage during warm summer months, you can pack them in a vaccuum bag so you can carelessly enjoy them for multiple seasons.

REMOVE PILLING

Pilling is unevitable, no matter the quality of the product because of friction. With a garment brush or a lint roller you can smooth your knits regularly or, in case of excessive pilling, you can remove it with a pilling comb or an electric fabric shaver to extend the life of your garment. Always be careful when treating your clothing!
