How should I wash this cardigan?

It is recommended to hand wash the cardigan in cold water with a mild detergent for delicates. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Lay flat to dry.

Is this cardigan suitable for very cold weather?

Troubleshooting

Cardigan feels itchy.

The blend includes wool and alpaca, which can sometimes feel slightly textured. Ensure it is washed according to care instructions, as this can soften the fibers. Wearing a thin base layer underneath can also help.

Pilling occurs on the surface.

Pilling is natural for wool blends. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or comb specifically designed for wool. Avoid excessive rubbing or friction during wear and washing.

Cardigan loses its shape after washing.

Ensure you are following the hand wash and flat dry instructions precisely. Reshape the garment while it is still damp before laying it flat on a clean towel away from direct heat or sunlight.
