What is the primary material used?

This garment is crafted from premium quality wool.

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.

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.
