Care Guide
Soak in cold or lukewarm water with gentle soap. Once 10 minutes have elapsed, hand wash the garment softly to agitate the soap into the fibres. Rinse thoroughly, and wring out water by squeezing lightly. Lay flat to dry on a towel to absorb excess water. If knitwear begins to felt over time, softly tug across the garment to release the fibres and help them return to their original state. Fold knit garments instead of hanging it, as the hanger can alter its size and shape.
