FAQs

What is the intarsia method?

Intarsia is a knitting technique used to create patterns with multiple colors, where each color block is worked from its own ball of yarn, resulting in a design that is part of the fabric structure.

Is this jumper suitable for machine washing?

It is best to use a delicate machine cycle with cool water, but hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the knit.

Does the swallow design fade over time?

No, because the design is woven directly into the knit using different colored yarns, it will not fade or peel like a screen-printed design.

How should I store this jumper?

Store the jumper folded flat to prevent the weight of the garment from stretching the shoulders.

What size does UK 10 correspond to?

A UK 10 is a standard medium-small fit designed for an adult frame.

Troubleshooting

Small snags in the knit

Use a specialized knitwear tool or a blunt needle to gently pull the snagged thread back to the reverse side of the garment.

Garment losing shape

Avoid hanging the jumper when stored; always fold it flat. If it becomes stretched, dampen lightly and reshape on a flat surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality inlaid design prevents patterns from fading or peeling
  • Soft rolled-edge collar enhances comfort
  • Ribbed trim keeps the garment in place during movement
  • Timeless design aesthetic suitable for various casual settings

Cons

  • Requires careful laundry maintenance to preserve the knit
  • Fair Isle patterns can be prone to snagging on sharp objects
  • Limited stretch compared to basic jersey knits

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Swallows Intarsia Fair Isle Jumper, always follow the care label instructions sewn into the interior seam. We recommend hand washing or using a delicate machine cycle with a cold setting to prevent the wool fibers from shrinking or felting. Avoid using harsh biological detergents, which can damage the natural fibers. Lay the garment flat to dry on a clean towel; hanging the jumper while wet may cause it to lose its shape and stretch the shoulders. Store folded in a drawer rather than on a hanger to protect the integrity of the knit structure.
