FAQs
What is the material composition of this jumper?
The jumper is made from a blend of 80% Wool and 20% Nylon.
Can I wash this jumper in a regular washing machine cycle?
No, it is essential to use only a delicate wool wash cycle. Regular cycles can damage the wool fibers.
How should I dry the jumper after washing?
You should not tumble dry the jumper. Lay it flat on a drying rack to air dry, away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape it while damp.
Is this jumper suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the thick lambswool blend provides substantial warmth and is ideal for cold weather conditions.
What does 'regular fit' mean for this jumper?
Regular fit indicates a standard, comfortable cut that is neither too tight nor too loose, allowing for ease of movement and layering.
Can this jumper be layered?
Absolutely. Its classic crew neck and minimal detailing make it highly suitable for layering over shirts or under jackets and gilets.
What is the benefit of the nylon in the blend?
The addition of nylon (20%) helps to improve the durability and shape retention of the jumper, making it more resilient to wear and tear compared to 100% wool.
Troubleshooting
Jumper feels itchy
Wool can sometimes feel itchy. Try wearing a thin base layer underneath. Washing the jumper according to the care instructions may also soften the wool over time.
Jumper has lost its shape after washing
Ensure you are using a delicate wool cycle and laying the garment flat to dry. Avoid wringing or stretching the fabric. Reshape gently while damp.
Pilling has occurred on the surface
Pilling is natural with wool blends. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by carefully picking them off by hand. Avoid excessive friction during wear.
Color fading
Wash inside out using a wool-specific detergent and a cool water setting. Avoid exposing the garment to direct sunlight for extended periods, especially when drying.
