FAQs
What is the primary material of the Maidstone Crew Sweater?
The sweater is expertly crafted from 100% lambswool.
What is the fit of this sweater?
The Maidstone Crew Sweater features a slim-fit silhouette.
How should I wash the sweater?
It is recommended to hand wash the sweater in cold water with a wool-specific detergent and lay flat to dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Is this sweater suitable for very cold weather?
The 7-gauge lambswool provides excellent warmth, making it suitable for colder seasons, especially as a layering piece. For extreme cold, additional outer layers may be necessary.
What does '7-gauge' refer to in knitting?
A 7-gauge knit indicates the density of the knit. A lower gauge number, like 7, generally means a slightly thicker, more substantial fabric compared to higher gauges.
How can I prevent moths from damaging the wool?
Store the sweater clean and in a breathable garment bag or box. Cedarwood products can also help deter moths.
Does the branding affect the comfort?
The signature Farah branding is a subtle embroidered logo, designed to be unobtrusive and not affect the overall comfort of the garment.
Troubleshooting
Sweater feels itchy.
Lambswool can sometimes feel slightly scratchy initially. Regular wear and proper washing can soften the fibers. Ensure you are not sensitive to wool; a base layer can be worn underneath if needed.
Sweater has lost its shape after washing.
Ensure you are hand washing in cold water and laying flat to dry, reshaping while damp. Avoid stretching or wringing the garment. If significant stretching has occurred, professional dry cleaning recommended for wool may help.
Pilling on the surface of the sweater.
Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fibers rubbing together. Gently remove pills using a wool comb or a fabric shaver. Regular gentle care will minimize this.
Fading of color.
Avoid direct sunlight during drying and storage. Use wool-specific detergents designed to preserve color. Washing inside out can also help protect the dye.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of your 100% lambswool sweater, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Hand wash gently in cold water using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Drying: Do not wring or tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water and lay the sweater flat on a clean towel, reshaping it to its original dimensions. Allow it to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Fold the sweater and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging, as this can stretch the wool.
- Pilling: Natural fiber sweaters may experience minor pilling over time. This can be gently removed with a wool comb or fabric shaver.
