The Best Way To Care For Your Knitwear<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Quality knitwear<\/a> is a staple of all types of wardrobe, from countryside to office. When you find a piece that is comfortable, cosy, and soft, it’s tempting to reach for it over and over again. But, of course, the more you wear it, the more care it will need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everybody knows the risks that come with washing wool – you probably have your own story involving a much loved jumper that came out of the washing machine three sizes too small, despite having carefully followed instructions. The good news is that most wools do a lot of the work themselves. The fibres will naturally cleanse and repel dirt and odours due to their lanolin content. As a result, you don’t actually need to wash them very often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knitwear can be an investment, so we want to make sure it can last. In this blog, we’ve collated a few top tips for the best ways to wash, dry, and store your favourite cosy knitted layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
