Knitwear Care

We will explain in detail how to care for your knitwear.

⚫︎The cycle is wear → hang → put away → wear

The recommended cycle is wear → dry flat in a laundry net (do not hang it on a hanger as it will stretch all over) → put away → wear.

If you wear the same sweater every day, it will wear out quickly, so try to wear it no more than once every two to three days.

⚫︎ After wearing, remove dust with a brush

Pilling occurs when dust accumulates on the knitted fabric. To prevent this, we recommend brushing the garment to remove dust after wearing it.


⚫︎Wash specific stains

If the stain is light, gently tap the area with a damp towel to remove the stain. The key is to not press hard.

If it doesn't come off with a towel, wash the area with a mild detergent.

We don't recommend washing the entire knitwear in the washing machine at home as it may cause it to lose its shape, but if it does get dirty in parts, wash it in parts as soon as possible. In that case, use a mild detergent and gently rub the garment to bring out the dirt.

After washing, gently wring it out and dry it with a towel.

Then spread it out on a flat drying net to dry.


⚫︎Taking care of hairballs

Since it is 100% wool, pilling will fall off, but if it bothers you, you can cut it off with scissors or a pill remover (do not try to remove it by pulling it out).


⚫︎Dry clean at the end of the season and store with insect repellent

After putting the insect repellent in, we recommend sealing the opening of the bag to prevent small insects from getting in. There are also natural insect repellents, so please choose the one you like.

We hope you will use the above care instructions to enjoy your product for a long time. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
