FAQs

What is merino wool?

Merino wool is a fine, soft fiber derived from Merino sheep. It is known for its warmth, breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and softness, making it ideal for high-quality garments.

Can I machine wash this sweater?

Yes, you can machine wash it, but only at 30 degrees on a gentle cycle, using a mild wool detergent. Always lay flat to dry.

How do I prevent shrinkage?

Avoid hot water and tumble drying. Always wash on a cool setting (30 degrees) and lay flat to dry. Reshape while damp.

Is this sweater suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, while lightweight, merino wool provides excellent warmth. It's designed for effective layering, so it can be worn as a base or mid-layer in colder conditions.

What is the benefit of the Bentley frame machines?

These traditional machines are known for producing high-quality knitwear with a superior finish and durability compared to more modern, faster methods.

How should I store the sweater?

Fold the sweater and store it in a breathable bag or drawer in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging it for extended periods, as this can cause stretching.

What does 'extra-fine' merino wool mean?

'Extra-fine' refers to the fineness of the wool fibers, measured in microns. Extra-fine merino wool has a smaller diameter, resulting in a softer, more luxurious feel.

Troubleshooting

Sweater feels itchy

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing at the correct temperature. It may also take a few wears for the merino wool to soften further.

Sweater has lost its shape

Reshape the garment gently while damp and lay it flat to dry. Avoid wringing or tumble drying. Check that you are not washing it too hot.

Pilling has occurred

Some pilling is natural with fine wool. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Avoid excessive friction during wear and washing.

Color seems faded

Ensure you are washing in cold water (30 degrees) and using a detergent without bleach. Turn the garment inside out when washing.
