FAQs

Is the sweater true to size?

Yes, the Meana Turtleneck features a regular fit, which is designed to fit true to standard size charts.

Can I machine wash this garment?

It is strongly advised against machine washing, as the agitation can damage the cashmere fibers. Dry cleaning is the safest method.

Does the turtleneck feel itchy?

High-quality cashmere is known for its softness and is generally not itchy, even against sensitive skin.

How should I store it during summer months?

Clean the sweater first, then fold it and place it in a breathable cotton storage bag or a sealed plastic bin with moth repellent.

Can I wear this under a thin blouse?

While you can layer it, it is better suited as the base layer under a jacket or coat due to its insulating properties.

Troubleshooting

Small fabric balls (pilling) appearing on the surface

This is a natural characteristic of fine natural fibers like cashmere. Use a fabric comb or low-intensity sweater shaver to remove them gently.

Sweater has lost its shape

Avoid hanging the sweater on wire hangers. Always store it folded, and if slightly misshapen, light steaming (holding the steamer a few inches away) can help reset the fibers.

Unexpected snag or pulled thread

Do not pull the thread. Use a needle to gently nudge the loop back through to the inside of the garment to secure it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Max Mara Meana Turtleneck remains in pristine condition, adhere to the following care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of cashmere, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. If you choose to hand wash, use a specialized wool detergent in cold water and never wring or twist the fabric.
  2. Drying: Lay the garment flat on a clean towel in a shaded area to dry. Never hang the sweater, as the weight of the water can cause the cashmere to lose its original shape.
  3. Storage: Fold the sweater neatly rather than hanging it in your closet to prevent shoulder bumps or stretching. Use a cedar block or lavender sachet to keep moths away.
  4. Pilling: Use a specialized fabric shaver or a cashmere comb gently if surface pilling occurs after extended wear.
