Troubleshooting

Jersey feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you used a mild detergent and avoided fabric softener, which can sometimes stiffen synthetic fabrics. Try a second rinse cycle.

Snakeskin pattern appears faded.

Avoid direct ironing on the pattern. Ensure the jersey was washed and dried according to care instructions, avoiding high heat.
