FAQs
Is this sweater machine washable?
No, this garment is made of premium wool and should be dry cleaned or hand washed to prevent shrinking and damage.
Can I hang the sweater in my closet?
It is recommended to store this sweater folded to maintain its shape, as hanging it can cause the weight of the wool to stretch the shoulders.
Is the wool itchy?
The sweater features a soft brushed finish designed to minimize the scratchiness typically associated with wool.
What does 5-gauge knit mean?
The gauge refers to the number of stitches per inch; a 5-gauge knit is a coarser, thicker construction that provides a sturdy and textured appearance.
Is this suitable for summer wear?
While wool is a natural insulator, the knit density makes this piece most appropriate for autumn, winter, and spring layering.
Troubleshooting
Minor pilling appearing on cuffs or sleeves
Use a fabric shaver or a sweater comb specifically designed for wool to gently remove surface lint.
Loss of shape
Lay the garment flat on a towel while slightly damp and reshape it gently to its original dimensions before allowing it to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, avoid machine washing or machine drying. We recommend dry cleaning for the best results, or hand washing in cool water using a mild wool-safe detergent. After washing, gently squeeze out excess water—do not wring or twist the fabric—and lay the sweater flat on a clean towel to dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Store the sweater folded in a drawer rather than hanging it on a hanger, as hanging can cause the shoulders to stretch and the fabric to distort over time.
