FAQs
Is merino wool suitable for all seasons?
Merino wool offers excellent temperature regulation. It keeps you warm in colder weather and is breathable enough for milder conditions, making it versatile.
How do I know if I'm using the right detergent?
Look for detergents labeled for 'wool,' 'delicates,' or 'hand wash.' These are typically pH-neutral and free of harsh enzymes that can damage wool fibers.
Can I machine wash this sweater?
It is strongly recommended to hand wash this merino wool sweater. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can lead to shrinkage, stretching, or damage to the fibers.
What does 'close-fitting silhouette' mean?
A close-fitting silhouette means the sweater is designed to follow the body's natural lines without being overly tight or baggy. It provides a sleek profile suitable for layering.
How often should I wash my merino wool sweater?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't require frequent washing. Washing after every few wears, or when visibly soiled, is usually sufficient. Airing it out can often refresh the garment between washes.
Is this sweater suitable for sensitive skin?
High-quality merino wool, like that used by Rick Owens, is known for its fine fibers which are generally softer and less itchy than traditional wool, making it suitable for many individuals with sensitive skin.
Troubleshooting
Sweater feels itchy or rough
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing in cold water. High-quality merino wool is naturally soft, so itchiness may indicate improper washing or a need for more wear to break in the fibers.
Sweater has lost its shape
Reshape the sweater gently while damp after washing. Lay flat to dry, avoiding hanging. If significant stretching has occurred, professional dry cleaning specializing in woolens might help restore some shape.
Pilling has occurred
Pilling is a natural characteristic of merino wool. Use a fabric shaver or a fine-tooth comb to gently remove pills. Avoid aggressive rubbing during wear and washing.
Color fading
Wash the sweater inside out in cold water with a color-safe detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, especially when drying.

Care Instructions:
Due to the delicate nature of merino wool, proper care is essential to maintain the sweater's integrity and softness:
- Washing: Hand wash using cold water and a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay the sweater flat on a clean towel or drying rack, reshaping it to its original dimensions. Do not tumble dry.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting (wool setting) or use a steamer. Ensure the iron does not directly touch the fabric.
- Storage: Fold the sweater and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging for extended periods, as this can cause stretching. Consider using cedar blocks to protect against moths.
