Troubleshooting
Wool pilling or bobbling
Gently remove pills with a wool comb or fabric shaver. This is a natural characteristic of wool fibers and can be managed with care.
Cardigan losing its shape
Ensure the garment is always laid flat to dry. Avoid hanging it on a hanger when wet, as this can cause stretching. Reshape gently while damp.
Gold-toned buttons tarnishing
Avoid direct contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, or lotions. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. If tarnishing occurs, consult a professional jewelry cleaner for advice on metal care.
Stains on the white fabric
Address stains immediately. Blot the affected area gently with a clean cloth. For stubborn stains, use a wool-specific stain remover and follow product instructions carefully. Hand wash after spot treatment.
