FAQs

Can I machine wash this cardigan?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Wool blends require delicate hand washing or professional dry cleaning to prevent shrinking and fiber damage.

How should I store the cardigan?

Always fold the cardigan and store it flat on a shelf. Hanging can cause the weight of the wool to stretch the shoulders and distort the fit.

Can the belt be worn separately?

Yes, the belt is detachable, allowing you to wear the cardigan open or pair the belt with other outfits if desired.

Does the wool blend itch?

The wool mix is designed for softness, but individuals with extreme sensitivity to wool may prefer wearing a thin long-sleeve base layer underneath.

Is the white color easy to maintain?

As with all light-colored wool items, it is susceptible to staining. Avoid contact with dark dyes, makeup, or oils, and spot clean gently if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Visible pilling on the fabric surface

Use a specialized fabric shaver or a sweater stone to gently remove pills; always work in one direction.

The fringe is tangled or messy

Lay the cardigan flat and use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle the fringe strands starting from the bottom.

Garment has lost its original shape

Lay the damp garment flat on a flat surface, gently reshape it to its original dimensions, and allow it to air dry completely.

  • Detachable belt offers two distinct silhouettes

  • Requires careful storage to prevent fringe tangling or misshaping

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Candela cardigan in top condition, always store it folded flat on a shelf rather than on a hanger, as hanging can cause the wool to stretch and distort the shoulder seams. Because of the delicate nature of the fringe, store the garment in a breathable cotton garment bag when traveling to prevent tangling. If minor pilling occurs due to natural friction, use a fabric shaver gently on the low setting. For cleaning, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the wool mix; if hand-washing is necessary, use a dedicated wool detergent in cool water, lay it flat on a clean towel to dry, and never wring or twist the fabric.
