Troubleshooting

Cardigan feels itchy.

While the blend is designed for softness, individual sensitivity can vary. Ensure the garment is clean, as residual chemicals from manufacturing can sometimes cause irritation. If the itchiness persists, consider wearing a thin base layer underneath.

Cardigan has lost its shape after washing.

Ensure you are following the specific care instructions, especially regarding washing temperature and drying methods. Laying flat to dry and reshaping while damp is crucial for maintaining the garment's form. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.

Pilling is appearing on the fabric.

Pilling is a natural occurrence with wool and alpaca blends. Gently use a fabric shaver or a fine-tooth comb to remove pills. Avoid excessive friction during wear and wash.
