FAQs
What is Merino Wool?
Merino wool is a natural fiber from Merino sheep, known for its exceptional softness, warmth, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties. It's finer than traditional wool, making it less itchy.
Is this cardigan machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle wool cycle at 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. However, hand washing is often recommended for extending the garment's lifespan.
How do I prevent my wool cardigan from shrinking?
Always use cold water (or a wool cycle setting), a wool-specific detergent, and avoid tumble drying. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Can I wear this cardigan in warmer weather?
Merino wool is breathable, so it can be comfortable for layering in transitional weather. In very warm conditions, it might be too warm as an outer layer, but can function as a light cover indoors.
How should I store my wool cardigan?
It's best to store your wool cardigan folded in a drawer or on a shelf to maintain its shape and prevent stretching. Avoid hanging it for long periods.
What does 'ribbed hem and neckline' mean?
Ribbed refers to a knit pattern that creates vertical lines, offering elasticity and a snug fit around the hem and neckline. This helps the garment retain its shape and provides a classic finish.
What occasions is this cardigan suitable for?
This cardigan is suitable for a range of casual to smart-casual occasions. Its versatility makes it ideal for daily wear, weekend outings, or as a layering piece in a professional setting.
Troubleshooting
Cardigan feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. If itchiness persists, try wearing a fine layer underneath, like a long-sleeved cotton top.
Cardigan has shrunk after washing
Avoid hot water and aggressive washing cycles. For minor shrinkage, you may be able to gently stretch the fabric back into shape while damp. Future washes should strictly follow wool care guidelines.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Pilling is a natural occurrence with wool. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or a fine-tooth comb. Regular, gentle washing and careful wear can minimize pilling.
Color appears dull
Use a detergent designed for colored wool and avoid over-washing. Ensure the garment is dried away from direct sunlight, which can fade colors.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle wool cycle (typically 30°C or 86°F). Use a wool-specific detergent.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Instead, lay the cardigan flat on a towel to air dry, reshaping it gently while damp. Avoid direct sunlight or heat.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting (wool setting) while the garment is slightly damp. Avoid pressing too hard.
- Storage: Store folded in a drawer or on a shelf rather than hanging to prevent stretching. Consider using cedar balls to protect against moths.
