Troubleshooting
Sweater feels itchy
Ensure you are using a high-quality wool detergent. Sometimes a few wears can soften the wool further. For immediate comfort, consider wearing a thin base layer underneath.
Sweater has lost its shape after washing
This often occurs from improper washing or drying. Re-shape the sweater gently while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid stretching or wringing.
Pilling on the wool surface
Pilling is natural for wool fibers. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Avoid excessive friction during wear.
Embroidery is fraying
Ensure the garment is turned inside out before washing and avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the embroidery. If fraying persists, consult a professional tailor.
