FAQs
What is virgin wool?
Virgin wool is wool that has never been used or processed before, sourced directly from a live animal. It is known for its softness, elasticity, and durability.
How do I know if the jumper will fit?
Refer to the Emporio Armani sizing chart provided by the retailer. Consider the measurements for chest, waist, and length. As it's a wool jumper, a slightly looser fit can be comfortable.
Can I wear this jumper in summer?
Due to its wool composition, this jumper is best suited for cooler seasons like autumn and winter. It may be too warm for summer unless in a very air-conditioned environment.
What kind of pattern is this?
The jumper features an all-over raised check pattern, created through a combination of plain and purl knit stitches for texture and visual depth.
Is this jumper suitable for sensitive skin?
While virgin wool is generally softer than other wools, individuals with extremely sensitive skin might find it textured. Wearing a fine base layer underneath is recommended.
What does 'plain and purl knit' mean?
This refers to the basic stitches used in knitting. A plain stitch (knit stitch) creates a 'V' shape, while a purl stitch creates a horizontal bump. Combining them creates texture.
Troubleshooting
Jumper feels itchy
Virgin wool can sometimes feel slightly textured. Ensure it's layered over a base layer like a t-shirt or fine-knit undershirt. If the itchiness persists, it may indicate a sensitivity to the material.
Color fading
Avoid direct sunlight exposure during drying and storage. Always follow the recommended dry cleaning process; do not bleach or machine wash.
Wool developing pills
Minor pilling is normal for wool. Gently use a fabric shaver or a wool comb to remove pills. Avoid excessive friction during wear.
Stretched out of shape
Ensure the jumper is stored folded, not hung. If it has stretched, try gently reshaping it while damp and laying it flat to dry. Avoid high heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care Instructions:
- Washing: This garment is best cared for through dry cleaning to maintain the integrity and texture of the virgin wool.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, preferably with a cloth barrier to protect the wool fibers.

- Pilling: Natural wool fibers may occasionally pill. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove any small balls of fiber.
