In light of the constantly evolving trends in fashion today, we deeply appreciate the significance of garment care. This is why we’ve curated a comprehensive guide to help you preserve the quality of your beloved knitwear from TheWoolCloset.
Each piece in our collection is meticulously crafted by hand using premium, sumptuously soft wool and yarn. Given the exquisite nature of these materials, special care is essential to ensure their longevity and aesthetic appeal. In this guide, we address common queries regarding the upkeep of your cherished TheWoolCloset items.
We strongly advise against machine washing your knitwear from TheWoolCloset. Instead, we highly recommend seeking professional dry-cleaning services for optimal care. In the event of minor stains, promptly apply the spot cleaning method. To do so, lightly moisten a cloth with cold or lukewarm water and gently pat the affected area. Exercise caution during spot cleaning, avoiding the use of soap or vigorous rubbing to prevent potential felting of the wool or yarn fibers.
Opting to fold your knitwear piece neatly into a drawer or box is the most secure storage method. However, if you prefer to hang your knitwear in your wardrobe, we advise utilizing non-slip hangers with rounded edges. Hangers featuring sharp edges might snag or puncture your knitwear item. Based on our experience with these hangers, we’ve encountered no issues when hanging up our knits!
While wearing your knitwear, we kindly ask you handle it with care to prevent snagging from jewelry, sharp objects, or abrasive surfaces. We recommend avoiding bracelets or jewelry with sharp edges that could potentially catch or snag on the delicate fabric. However, fret not! Jewelry such as hoop earrings with smooth edges typically pose no issues when paired with your knitwear.
Upon receiving your knitwear piece, please bear in mind that pilling may occur with wear. This is a completely natural phenomenon attributed to the thick, delicate, and luxurious nature of the un-spun wool or yarn. Pilling refers to the formation of loose fibers or small balls on the surface of the knitwear piece during wear. It is more likely to occur on the inner side of the garment due to friction against clothing.
In addition to the previously mentioned recommendations, we suggest applying the “petting” technique. Gently stroking or patting your chunky knit can help to smooth any delicate fibers. Additionally, gently shaking your knitwear is an effective method for removing dust and maintaining its fresh appearance.
It’s best to avoid wearing your TheWoolCloset knitwear piece in the rain or snow unless you have adequate protection, such as a coat, to keep it dry. If you do find yourself caught in wet weather conditions while wearing your knitwear, gently lay it flat on a surface to dry. Avoid hanging it up when wet, as the weight of absorbed water may exert pressure on the knit fabric.
Should you have any additional questions about maintaining your luxurious TheWoolCloset knitwear, please don’t hesitate to email us at office@thewoolcloset.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
