FAQs

Is the wool sourced ethically?

Seasalt Cornwall is known for its commitment to responsible sourcing and quality materials; please check the product tag for specific ethical certifications.

Can I put this in the dryer?

No, machine drying can cause the wool to shrink and the structure to warp. Always air dry flat.

How does the sizing run?

The cardigan features a relaxed fit; if you prefer a more tailored look, you may want to consider sizing down from your standard dress size.

What should I do if a button falls off?

The mock-horn buttons are standard size. You can easily reattach them using a needle and color-matched thread.

Is the wool itchy?

While natural wool can have a slight texture, this cardigan is designed for comfort. Wearing a long-sleeved base layer underneath is recommended if you have highly sensitive skin.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels scratchy after washing

Use a gentle wool conditioner during the rinse cycle to soften the natural fibers.

Loose threads on the pattern

Use a small crochet hook or needle to gently pull the loose end back through to the inside of the garment; never cut the thread.

Shape loss after washing

Ensure you are laying the garment flat on a towel to air dry rather than hanging it up while wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is made of natural wool, proper care is essential to preserve its lifespan. We recommend using a gentle, wool-specific detergent and a dedicated wool or delicate cycle on your washing machine. Always avoid harsh bleaches or biological detergents that can break down natural fibers. For drying, do not tumble dry; instead, reshape the cardigan while damp and lay it flat on a drying rack to prevent stretching or sagging. Ensure it is stored folded rather than on a hanger to keep the shoulder seams from distorting.
