FAQs

What makes the space-dye yarn special?

The space-dye yarn is developed exclusively by the brand's founder, featuring a retro rainbow pattern inspired by 1970s hand-knits. This unique dyeing technique ensures that each cardigan has a distinct color placement, making it one-of-a-kind.

Is this cardigan suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the cardigan is made from 100% organic cotton, which is known for its softness, breathability, and hypoallergenic properties, making it ideal for delicate and sensitive baby and children's skin.

How do I care for the cardigan to ensure it lasts?

Machine wash the cardigan at 30 degrees Celsius using a mild detergent. It is best to air dry flat or on a line. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals. Iron on a low setting if necessary.

Can the cardigan be passed down to younger siblings or future children?

Absolutely. The cardigan is designed with longevity and durability in mind, featuring high-quality organic cotton and turn-back cuffs to adapt to growth. This aligns with the brand's philosophy of creating pieces that can be worn well and passed on.

What does 'pointelle stitches' mean?

Pointelle stitches are a type of openwork knitting technique that creates a delicate, decorative pattern. In this cardigan, they are used at the chest to add a traditional, handcrafted detail to the vintage-inspired design.

What age group is the size UK 6 suitable for?

A UK size 6 in children's clothing typically corresponds to approximately 6 years of age. However, due to the turn-back cuffs allowing for growth, it may fit a range of ages around this size.

Is the color variation between cardigans a defect?

No, the variation in the space-dye pattern is an intended feature. It's a result of the unique dyeing process and ensures that every cardigan is unique and has its own special character.

Troubleshooting

Cardigan appears to have shrunk after washing.

Ensure you are washing at the recommended 30 degrees Celsius. For future washes, consider using a cooler setting and air drying flat to prevent shrinkage.

Color variation between different cardigans.

This is an intentional characteristic of the unique space-dye yarn. Each garment's pattern will vary slightly due to the dyeing process, making your piece one-of-a-kind.

Pilling or bobbling of the fabric.

Some pilling can occur with natural fibers like cotton over time. Washing inside out and using a garment bag can help minimize this. Gently remove any pills with a fabric comb or electric pill remover.

Cuffs are too long even when unturned.

The turn-back cuffs are designed to be adjustable. If the full length is still too long, ensure they are folded neatly. For very young children or specific fits, slight tailoring may be an option, but the design intends for them to be folded.
