FAQs
What are the benefits of extra-fine Merino wool?
Extra-fine Merino wool is known for its exceptional softness, breathability, and natural ability to regulate body temperature. It wicks moisture away from the skin, resists odors, and provides warmth without bulk, making it comfortable in various climates.
Why does this jumper have nylon patches?
The nylon patches are strategically incorporated to enhance durability in areas that typically experience more wear, such as the shoulders or elbows. They also add a subtle textural and visual detail to the jumper's design.
Can I machine wash this jumper?
Yes, you can machine wash it, but only on a dedicated 'wool' or 'delicate' cycle using cold water and a mild, wool-specific detergent. For the best longevity, hand washing is often recommended.
Is it safe to tumble dry the jumper?
No, absolutely do not tumble dry. Tumble drying will almost certainly cause the Merino wool to shrink significantly and damage the fibers. Always lay the jumper flat to air dry.
How does the 'Regular Fit' compare to other fits?
The 'Regular Fit' provides a balanced and classic silhouette. It offers comfortable room for movement without being overly loose or tightly fitted, making it ideal for layering and suitable for a wide range of body types.
What is the best way to store this jumper?
To maintain its shape and prevent stretching, it is best to fold the jumper and store it flat in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging it on a hanger for extended periods, especially when wet, as this can cause it to stretch out of shape.
Troubleshooting
Jumper feels itchy or rough after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent. Rinse thoroughly in cold water to remove all detergent residue. Avoid hot water, which can cause wool fibers to become coarse.
Jumper has shrunk or stretched out of shape.
This usually indicates improper washing or drying. Always hand wash in cold water or use a delicate/wool machine cycle. Lay flat to dry, gently reshaping while damp. Avoid tumble drying at all costs.
Pilling (small fiber balls) appears on the surface.
Pilling is natural with wool and occurs from friction. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or a specialized wool comb. Reduce friction by wearing it less frequently with abrasive materials.
Faint odor persists even after washing.
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, but ensure thorough drying. If an odor persists, try airing the jumper outside (away from direct sun) for a few hours before rewashing with a wool-specific odor-eliminating detergent.
