CARE
A little care becomes part of wearing something you love. Airing, gentle washing and careful storage help keep your knitwear ready for everyday life.
Below, you’ll find care notes for our extrafine merino wool and organic cotton, alongside a small selection of tools from Steamery. Always follow the care label in your garment.
EXTRAFINE MERINO WOOL
Our merino wool is mulesing free and RWS certified which ensures that the wool farmer meets the standards for animal welfare, land management, and social responsibility.
Soft, breathable and comfortable against the skin, extrafine merino wool benefits from a gentle care routine. Start with airing, and wash when needed.
A merino wool garment doesn't need to be washed often due to the natural properties mentioned above. Hang your garment outside to air out overnight. This will help extend the lifespan of your garment and reduce the need for washing.
If you need to remove creases or refresh your garment, a hand steamer can be helpful. We recommend keeping some distance between the steamer and the garment to prevent damage.
If you notice a stain, it's important to clean it immediately, as wool stains can become permanent. You can spot-clean the stain or wash the garment with a wool detergent. Be sure not to use bleach or fabric softeners as they can damage the merino wool fibers. Follow the care label in your garment. If it specifies hand washing, wash by hand.
After washing it's crucial to avoid tumble drying your merino wool garments. Instead, remove excess water by gently pressing the garment with a towel and lay it flat to dry.
Pilling is a natural process of merino wool fabrics and does not indicate poor quality. To remove pills from your garment, we recommend using a fabric shaver. Always fold your merino wool garments to maintain their shape, and do not wear the same pieces daily. Store them with natural moth repellents to prevent any damage.

ORGANIC COTTON
Our organic cotton is GOTS certified. Soft and breathable, it is a natural choice for the layers you wear close to your skin.
Gentle washing and careful storage help preserve the feel and shape of your cotton knitwear. Check the care label before washing, steaming or drying.
To refresh your organic cotton garments after wearing them, use a hand steamer and spritz them with fabric spray. It's important to keep the steamer a safe distance from the garment to prevent any damage.
Follow your garment’s care label for washing and drying; not every cotton knit is suitable for machine washing or tumble drying. To preserve the colors of your organic cotton garments use a detergent made for colored clothes and a separate one for white clothes. If you choose to tumble dry your clothes, use tumble dryer balls to reduce the drying time and avoid static electricity.
When hanging your organic cotton garment, use padded hangers and alternate the direction of the hangers to prevent stretching. For long-term storage, always fold your organic cotton garments to maintain their shape and store them with natural moth repellents to prevent any damage.
