FAQs
What makes this merino wool 'extrafine'?
Extrafine merino wool refers to wool fibers with a very small diameter (typically below 19.5 microns), which results in a significantly softer, smoother, and less itchy feel compared to standard wool.
Is this sweater suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, merino wool provides excellent insulation and warmth. For extremely cold conditions, it functions best as a mid-layer when combined with a thermal base layer and an outer shell.
How often should I wash this sweater?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable. Washing less frequently can prolong the life of the garment. Spot clean minor stains and air out the sweater between wears. Only wash when truly necessary.
Can I wear this directly against my skin?
Yes, the 'extrafine' quality of the merino wool makes it soft enough for direct skin contact for most individuals. However, if you have extremely sensitive skin, you might prefer to wear a thin base layer underneath.
What does the '12 Gauge knit' mean?
Gauge refers to the number of knitting needles per inch. A 12 gauge knit indicates a finer, denser fabric, contributing to the sweater's smooth finish and overall quality.
How do I best care for the lens detail?
The lens detail is a durable accessory. Avoid excessive scrubbing directly on the lens during washing. It can be cleaned gently with the rest of the garment following the care instructions.
Troubleshooting
Sweater feels itchy
Extrafine merino wool is naturally soft. If itchiness occurs, ensure the garment is clean and properly rinsed. It may also indicate a sensitivity to wool fibers.
Pilling on the surface
Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fibers and can be managed. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or specialized wool comb. Avoid excessive friction during wear and washing.
Sweater has lost its shape
Reshape the sweater gently while damp and lay it flat to dry. Avoid stretching or wringing. Proper storage (folded) is crucial to maintain shape.
Color fading
Wash inside out in cold water with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid direct sunlight during drying. Ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash is recommended in cold water. Alternatively, use a gentle cycle on your washing machine with a wool or delicate setting, using a mild detergent specifically designed for wool.
- Drying: Never tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay the sweater flat on a clean towel, reshaping it to its original dimensions, and allow it to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting using a pressing cloth to protect the wool fibers.
- Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging for extended periods, as this can cause stretching and loss of shape.
