How do I care for delicate knits or fluffy fabrics?Updated 4 months ago

Caring for your beautiful knitwear helps it stay soft, keep its shape, and last season after season. Here's how to get the most out of your favourite pieces:

Pilling is a natural part of wear, especially in soft, fluffy yarns. To minimise this:

• Avoid wearing your knit under jackets or bags that cause friction

• Gently de-pill using a fabric comb or knitwear shaver if needed - never pull pills off by hand

• Wash inside a mesh wash bag to reduce surface abrasion

Wash gently (and not too often):
Over-washing can stress fibres and lead to stretching or fuzziness.

• Spot clean small marks where possible

• When it’s time to wash, choose a cold, gentle cycle or hand wash

• Always use a delicates detergent - ideally one made for wool or knitwear

• Pop your knit in a mesh laundry bag for machine washes

Dry it right:

• Lay your knit flat on a clean towel, reshaping it as it dries

• Avoid wringing or hanging while wet - this can stretch the fabric

• Never tumble dry

Storage tips:

• Fold rather than hang to keep the shape intact

• Store in a breathable cotton bag or drawer (not plastic)

• If storing for the season, ensure it’s clean and dry before packing away
