Knitwear Care Guide

All our knitwear is made from natural fibres, including Scottish wool, fine merino, and recycled Italian cashmere. Wool is warm, sustainable, and renewable – sheep regrow their fleece each year, and any wool waste biodegrades naturally. We harness its strength and intrinsic warmth to create insulating pieces, and its absorbent nature allows it to be easily dyed in a wide spectrum of colours.

  • Wool rarely needs washing due to its breathable, odour-resistant, and naturally antibacterial fibres.
  • Airing or freezing often works well. Wash by hand, as needed, in cool water with a wool detergent.
  • Avoid soaking, stretching, rubbing, or using fabric softener, as it may cause pilling.
  • Rinse well and gently squeeze out water, but avoid wringing.
  • Lay on a towel, roll to remove excess water, and dry flat.
  • To deter moths, fold in a drawer and use cedar balls, lavender, or conkers, airing garments occasionally.
  • Hangers can stretch and misshape wool clothing.
  • Pills can be removed with a knitwear comb.
