Knits require care to keep their shape and softness.
- For spot cleaning, gently wipe with a damp cloth and let it air dry.
- Should your knit needs a proper clean, soak it in lukewarm water with a little wool-friendly detergent. Press gently, then rinse in cool water without twisting. If your knit has a faux fur pom, try not to soak it. If the pom get wet, let it air dry and then lightly tease the pile back up. A gentle blast with a cool hair dryer will also help.
- Roll it in a towel to remove excess water, reshape it while damp and leave it to dry flat away from heat.
- Store it unstretched, and dry in a breathable place.
