FAQs

Does this cardigan shrink in the wash?

Wool can shrink if exposed to heat. Always wash on a cold, delicate cycle and never place the item in a tumble dryer.

Can I wear this as an outer layer?

Yes, it provides sufficient warmth for mild autumn days, though it may require a heavy coat over it in extreme winter temperatures.

How do I store the cardigan during the summer?

Clean the garment first, then store it folded in a cool, dry place, ideally inside a breathable garment bag with cedar or lavender to deter moths.

Does the V-neck design accommodate scarves?

Yes, the V-neck is spacious enough to be worn with various scarf styles without feeling restrictive.

Are the pockets large enough for a modern smartphone?

The front patch pockets are designed for utility and can comfortably fit most standard-sized smartphones.

Troubleshooting

Pilling on the surface of the fabric

Gently use a fabric shaver or a sweater stone to remove surface fuzz, taking care not to pull on the wool fibers.

Garment feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific conditioning detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the natural fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This cardigan is designed for a regular fit and is true to size. To maintain the integrity of the wool fleece, it is highly recommended to use a delicate wash cycle with cold water and a wool-safe detergent. Never tumble dry the garment, as the heat may cause significant shrinkage; instead, lay the cardigan flat on a drying rack away from direct sunlight to preserve its color and fiber strength. When not in use, fold the cardigan rather than hanging it to prevent stretching at the shoulders.
