Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the Emile et Ida cardigan in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Washing: Use a cold machine wash cycle. To prevent snagging the ruffled collar or scalloped trim, place the garment inside a mesh laundry bag.
- Drying: Air dry the cardigan flat on a clean surface away from direct sunlight to preserve the shape and the integrity of the alpaca fibers.
- Ironing: Avoid direct heat on the buttons and ruffled trim. If necessary, use a low-heat steam setting from a distance.
- Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging the garment for long periods to prevent the shoulders from stretching due to the weight of the knit.
