AMI Paris - Ami De Coeur Crewneck Sweater - Beige - Wool

Felted merino wool is a type of wool that has undergone a felting process, which compacts the fibers, making the fabric denser, more durable, and often softer. Merino wool itself is prized for being fine, soft, breathable, and excellent at regulating temperature.

The best care for this felted merino wool sweater is hand washing in cold water with a wool-specific detergent, or professional dry cleaning. Always lay it flat to dry to prevent stretching or shrinking.

While some modern washing machines have gentle wool cycles, it is generally safer to hand wash or dry clean felted merino wool to prevent potential shrinkage or damage. Always check the specific care label first.

'Intarsia knitted' refers to a knitting technique used to create patterns with multiple colors, where different colors of yarn are woven in and out of the fabric to create a distinct, clean image without any loose threads or 'floats' on the back of the garment.

Clean the sweater thoroughly, then fold it neatly and store it in an airtight container or breathable garment bag. Include cedar blocks or lavender sachets to deter moths. Store in a cool, dry, dark place.

As a light color, beige can show stains more readily than darker hues. Promptly address any spills with gentle spot cleaning. Applying a fabric protector designed for wool can offer an extra layer of defense.

While wool has natural elasticity, improper care such as hanging while wet or storing on a hanger can cause stretching, particularly in the shoulders and length. Following folding and drying guidelines will help maintain its shape.

This is common with natural fibers like wool. Use a dedicated fabric shaver or a lint comb to gently remove pills without damaging the knit. Reduce friction where possible.

This usually indicates incorrect washing or drying. Always hand wash in cold water or dry clean, and lay flat to dry. Avoid hot water, harsh agitation, or hanging while wet.

Handle the sweater with care to prevent snags. If a thread is loose, gently push it back through the fabric using a blunt needle. Do not pull or cut it, as this can unravel the knit.

Wool can absorb odors. Air out the sweater in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. If odors persist, a professional dry cleaning is recommended. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying or storage. Follow recommended washing instructions, as harsh detergents or hot water can sometimes affect dye integrity.
