AMI Paris - Ami De Coeur Crewneck Sweater - Beige - 12

Felted merino wool refers to merino wool that has undergone a process to interlock its fibers, creating a denser, more durable, and often softer fabric with a slightly fuzzy or blurred appearance. It enhances warmth and reduces pilling.

No, this sweater is strictly 'hand wash only'. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can damage the merino wool fibers, causing shrinking, felting, or loss of shape. Always follow the hand-wash instructions carefully.

After gently squeezing out excess water (do not wring), lay the sweater flat on a clean, dry towel or a mesh drying rack. Reshape it to its original dimensions and allow it to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight. Never hang it to dry.

Ami de Coeur translates from French to 'friend of the heart'. It is the signature motif of AMI Paris, symbolizing friendship, happiness, and authentic style. The logo features a heart topped with an 'A'.

While merino wool is breathable, this felted crewneck sweater is primarily designed for cooler temperatures due to its warmth. It's best suited for autumn, winter, and cooler spring days rather than hot weather.

This sweater features a 'slouchy fit', meaning it is designed to be relaxed and slightly oversized for a comfortable, contemporary look. As a unisex product, the sizing is intended to be adaptable for different body types.

Fold the sweater neatly and store it in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging it for long periods to prevent stretching. To protect against moths, consider placing cedar balls or lavender sachets in your storage area.

While merino wool is known for its softness, individual sensitivities can vary. Try wearing a thin, long-sleeved base layer (e.g., cotton or silk) underneath the sweater to create a barrier and enhance comfort. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent which can also help maintain softness.

This typically occurs if the sweater was washed in hot water, machine washed, or hung to dry while wet. Always hand wash in cool water with a wool-specific detergent and lay flat to dry to maintain its original size and shape. Gently reshape the sweater while it's damp.

Pilling is a natural occurrence in wool and other natural fibers, especially in areas of friction. It is not a defect. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver, a specialized sweater comb, or even carefully with scissors. Regular care and gentle washing can help minimize pilling.

Ensure you are using a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate garments, which often contains agents to protect natural fibers and colors. Always wash in cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can strip color and damage wool fibers.

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, but if an odor develops, it often means the sweater needs cleaning. Ensure thorough rinsing during hand washing. For general freshness between washes, air the sweater out in a well-ventilated area for a few hours. If storing, ensure it's completely dry to prevent mildew.
