FAQs

The cardigan is made from a blend of 34% Alpaca, 34% Wool, 29% Polyamide, and 3% Elastane.

Can I machine wash this cardigan?

No, washing of any kind is prohibited for this garment. It requires specialized care.

How should I dry the cardigan after cleaning?

Tumble drying is prohibited. The cardigan should be air-dried only, preferably laid flat to maintain its shape.

Is this cardigan suitable for very cold weather?

The wool and alpaca blend provides good warmth, making it suitable for cool to moderately cold weather as a layering piece.

What does 'regular fit' mean for this cardigan?

Regular fit indicates a standard cut that is neither too tight nor too loose, offering comfort and ease of movement.

Where is this cardigan manufactured?

This cardigan is fabricated in Bulgaria.

How can I best care for the wool blend to prevent damage?

Avoid washing and tumble drying. Store folded in a dry place and consider protection against moths. For cleaning, spot treatment with a damp cloth or professional dry cleaning (if recommended) are the safest options.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels itchy

This can sometimes happen with wool blends. Try wearing a thin layer underneath, like a long-sleeved t-shirt. Ensure the garment is not too tight, as this can exacerbate itchiness.

Pilling or bobbling on the fabric

Pilling is natural with wool blends. You can carefully remove small pills with a fabric shaver or by gently using a comb. Avoid excessive rubbing during wear.

Cardigan loses shape

Ensure the cardigan is stored folded, not hung, to prevent stretching. If it has stretched slightly, try gently reshaping it while damp and allowing it to air dry flat.

Minor stains appear

Address stains immediately by dabbing gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or rubbing. For significant stains, consult a professional cleaner experienced with delicate wool blends.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Prohibited. Do not machine wash or hand wash.
  • Tumble Drying: Prohibited. Do not place in a tumble dryer.
  • Cleaning: Professional dry cleaning may be an option, but always check the garment's internal label for specific recommendations. For minor spot cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth on the affected area only, and avoid saturating the fabric. Allow to air dry completely.
  • Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Consider using garment bags or cedar blocks to protect the wool blend from moths.
  • Ironing: Avoid direct ironing. If necessary, use a cool setting with a protective cloth, and iron very briefly.
