FAQs
What makes this wool 'Extrafine'?
Extrafine merino wool refers to wool fibers with a very small diameter, typically below 19.5 microns. This results in a softer, smoother, and less itchy feel compared to standard wool.
Can I machine wash this sweater?
While some machines have a delicate wool cycle, hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the integrity, shape, and softness of the Extrafine Merino Wool. Avoid machine washing to prevent potential damage like shrinkage or stretching.
What is the significance of the rubberized logo badge?
The rubberized logo badge is a signature design element of CP Company, often found on their Metropolis Series and other collections. It signifies authenticity and adds a distinctive, contemporary detail to the garment.
How should I store this sweater?
Store the sweater folded in a breathable garment bag or drawer. Avoid hanging it for extended periods, as this can lead to stretching and loss of shape due to the weight of the wool.
Is this sweater suitable for very cold weather?
The Extrafine Merino Wool provides excellent warmth and insulation for its weight. It's ideal as a mid-layer for moderate to cold conditions. For extreme cold, it would be best layered under a heavier coat or jacket.
What does '14 Gauge knit' mean?
A 14 gauge knit indicates that the machine used to create the fabric has 14 needles per inch. This generally results in a finer, smoother, and more tightly woven fabric, contributing to the sweater's sleek appearance.
Troubleshooting
Sweater feels itchy
Ensure you are washing with a wool-specific, mild detergent. Extrafine merino wool is generally very soft, so itchiness might indicate a need for proper cleaning or a reaction to other garments worn underneath.
Pilling on the surface
Some minor pilling is normal with wool fibers over time. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces.
Shrinkage after washing
This can occur if the sweater is washed in hot water or agitated too much. Always hand wash in cool water and handle gently. If shrinkage has occurred, try carefully stretching it back into shape while damp.
Loss of shape
Ensure the sweater is laid flat to dry and gently reshaped while damp. Avoid hanging the wet garment, as gravity can cause it to stretch out of shape.
