Troubleshooting
Pilling or snagging of fabric
Minor pilling can be gently addressed with a fabric shaver or by carefully picking off stray fibers. For snags, do not pull. If possible, try to gently push the snagged thread back through to the inside using a fine needle. For significant damage, consult a professional tailor or dry cleaner.
Loss of shape
Ensure the cardigan is stored folded, not hung. If it has become misshapen, carefully reshape it while damp after dry cleaning and lay flat to dry. Avoid stretching the material.
Button detachment
If the button becomes loose, seek a professional tailor to reattach it securely. Keep the button in a safe place if it detaches completely.
