Troubleshooting

Sweater feels itchy

Ensure you are using a high-quality wool detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Some fine wools may require a fabric softener specifically designed for wool if itchiness persists, or consider layering over a thin base layer.

Pilling on the surface

This is natural for 100% wool. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by carefully picking them off. Minimize friction in high-wear areas.

Suede patches look dull or stained

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a professional cleaner specializing in delicate fabrics and suede.

Sweater has lost its shape

Reshape the garment while damp after washing and lay flat to dry. Avoid stretching during washing or drying. For significant reshaping issues, professional cleaning may be necessary.
