Caring for Your Handmade Knit
The garment is handmade by you and they're made from 100% merino wool, therefore some extra cares should be taken to ensure longevity.
🧼 Washing
Wool is a delicate natural fibre that can shrink or felt when exposed to water. That means your knit might lose its softness or shape if washed too often.
✨ Spot cleaning is best – only wash if there’s a visible stain or smell.
If you must wash (but not recommending):
🖐️ Hand wash only. No machines. No hot water.
Use cold water + gentle detergent (baby shampoo works too).
Soak briefly, gently swirl, rinse, then press out water. Never wring.
Lay flat on a towel to dry – no hanging, no sunlight.
🧺 Storage
Fold your knit – don’t hang it, or it may stretch.
Before storing long-term (like over summer), make sure it’s washed, dried, and clean to avoid moths.
Store in an airtight container with 🌸 lavender sachets or 🪵 cedar blocks to keep the bugs away.
✂️ Depilling
Pilling is totally normal for wool – it happens with friction.
Simply snip pills gently with scissors or use a fabric comb/Shaver to keep your knit looking fresh.
