Troubleshooting

Pilling on the fabric

Some pilling is natural with wool and cashmere blends. Gently remove pills by hand or use a fabric shaver designed for delicate knits. Avoid excessive friction.

Garment loses shape after washing

Ensure you are washing and drying the cardigan flat, carefully reshaping it while damp. Avoid stretching by hanging. If the shape is significantly lost, professional dry cleaning might help restore it.

Embroidery appears loose or damaged

Avoid snagging the embroidery. If a few threads are loose, you can gently trim them with small, sharp scissors. For significant damage, professional repair might be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

As this is a garment, setup is minimal. The primary focus is on proper care to maintain the quality and longevity of the wool-cashmere blend.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Hand wash only in cold water using a mild detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
  • Drying: Gently press out excess water with a clean towel. Lay the cardigan flat on a drying rack or a fresh towel, reshaping it to its original dimensions while damp. Do not tumble dry.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting (wool setting) with a pressing cloth or from the reverse side only. Avoid direct contact of the iron with the fabric.
  • Storage: Store folded in a breathable garment bag or on a shelf. Avoid hanging, as this can stretch the knit. Protect from moths by using natural repellents like cedar.
  • Cleaning Piping and Embroidery: Be particularly gentle around the embroidered orb and contrasting piping to prevent snagging or damage.
