FAQ: Materials, Care, and Fits
How should knitwear be washed and cared for properly?
Natural materials like wool benefit greatly from self-cleaning. It’s often recommended to simply hang knitwear outdoors to air out rather than wash it frequently. In the winter, it’s a good idea to leave knitwear outside with snow on top, as this is an effective way to clean them. When washing is necessary, use a gentle wool cycle at a maximum of 30 degrees with liquid wool detergent. Knit sweaters should never be machine-washed with regular detergent or tumble-dried, as this damages the fibers and can cause the garment to shrink. Instead, lay knitwear flat to dry on a towel to preserve its shape.
What are the different materials used to make knit sweaters?
Lambswool and merino wool: Provide excellent temperature regulation, durability, and natural warmth without feeling heavy.
Cashmere: An extremely soft, lightweight, and luxurious fiber with high insulating properties that feels comfortable against the skin.
Mohair and alpaca: Soft and airy types of wool that give knitwear a distinctive, smooth, and fluffy texture with a light feel and good warmth.
Yak wool: An exclusive, naturally soft, and extra-warm type of wool that resembles cashmere in its fine texture, but with high durability and good breathability.
Wool: The classic wool quality that offers good weight, strong insulation, and a natural look that retains its shape over time.
Cotton: Ideal for mild transitional seasons when a lighter and more breathable knit is desired.
What’s the difference between a sweater (pullover) and a cardigan?
A sweater or pullover is a closed top without a front opening that is pulled over the head—for example, with a crew neck or V-neck. A cardigan, on the other hand, has a full-length front opening with buttons or a zipper, making it extremely versatile as an open or closed layer over a T-shirt or shirt.
