FAQs
What does 'RWS Wool' mean?
RWS stands for Responsible Wool Standard. It ensures the wool comes from farms that manage their land responsibly and practice animal welfare, ensuring ethical sourcing.
What is 'Gauge 12' knit?
Gauge refers to the number of needles per inch on a knitting machine. Gauge 12 indicates a finer knit, resulting in a smoother texture and a more elegant appearance compared to coarser gauges.
Can I machine wash this sweater?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash only in cold water with a wool-specific detergent to prevent shrinkage and damage to the fibers.
How should I store my wool sweater?
Fold the sweater neatly and store it flat in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging, as this can cause the wool to stretch and lose its shape.
What is the benefit of the stretch wool?
The stretch component in the wool blend enhances comfort and allows for greater freedom of movement, ensuring a better fit without compromising the garment's structure.
How do I care for the reverse stitch detailing?
The reverse stitch detailing is an integral part of the knit. Standard wool care practices, such as gentle hand washing and avoiding harsh agitation, will maintain its appearance.
Is this sweater suitable for very cold weather?
As a fine gauge knit, it provides good warmth and is excellent for layering. For extreme cold, it would be best worn as a mid-layer under a warmer outerwear piece.
Troubleshooting
Garment has shrunk after washing
Avoid hot water and machine washing. For minor shrinkage, try gently stretching the garment while damp. For significant shrinkage, professional wool cleaning might offer slight restoration, but prevention is key.
Wool has lost its shape
Ensure the garment is laid flat to dry and reshaped while damp. Avoid hanging. If the shape is significantly distorted, professional reshaping by a tailor experienced with knitwear may be possible.
Dealing with moth damage
Store clean garments in breathable garment bags or sealed containers, especially during warmer months. Consider using natural moth repellents like cedar balls. If damage occurs, repair using a darning needle and matching yarn.
Surface pilling
Gently remove small pills with a wool comb or a fabric shaver. This is a natural occurrence with wool fibers and does not affect the garment's integrity.
