Troubleshooting

Cardigan appears to have shrunk after washing

Gently stretch the garment back to its original shape while damp. Lay flat to dry. Avoid machine washing or drying in the future.

Pilling on the surface of the fabric

This is natural with wool and alpaca fibers. Use a fabric shaver or a fine-tooth comb gently to remove pills. Avoid excessive friction.

Stains on the material

Address stains immediately with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For persistent stains, professional dry cleaning is recommended.

Buttons feel loose

Carefully hand-stitch the buttons more securely using a needle and thread that matches the button color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
