FAQs

Can I wash this sweater in a machine if I use a delicate cycle?

No. The manufacturer recommends professional dry cleaning only to preserve the wool's texture and fit.

What is the primary material used?

This garment is crafted from premium quality wool.

Is the sizing consistent for children?

Yes, the sizes follow standard UK children's sizing guidelines, but wool may have a natural weight that provides a structured fit.

Where is this sweater manufactured?

This piece is made in Turkey.

Does the colour fade easily?

When cared for through professional dry cleaning, the rich Fireside Red color is designed to remain vibrant.

Is this suitable for all-day wear at school?

It is suitable for school, though due to its material, it is best kept away from messy activities to minimize the need for frequent cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Pilling on the surface of the wool

Gently use a fabric shaver or a specialized wool comb to remove pills, taking care not to snag the cable-knit pattern.

Shape distortion from hanging

Lay the sweater flat on a clean, dry towel and lightly reshape it to its original dimensions, then allow it to air dry away from direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is made from natural wool, proper care is essential to extend its lifespan.

  1. Cleaning: This item must be dry cleaned only. Avoid home washing machines, as agitation and water can cause shrinking or loss of the cable-knit definition.
  2. Storage: Fold the sweater flat in a cool, dry drawer. Avoid hanging it on wire hangers, which can stretch the shoulder seams and distort the knit.
  3. Seasonal Prep: Use cedar blocks or lavender sachets when storing for long periods to protect the natural fibers from moths.
  4. Compatibility: The neutral-but-vibrant Fireside Red tone pairs exceptionally well with navy, charcoal, or khaki-colored bottoms.
