product care

Don’t be scared - wash your knits with confidence!

Think of your knitwear like a loyal friend (or your favorite pair of leather shoes). Treat them right, and they’ll be with you year after year, looking and feeling amazing.

Here’s the lowdown on keeping your knits in tip-top shape:

step 1 - airing out

If there are no obvious blemishes, air your knit out overnight on a dry night to remove any unwanted odours. Wool and Cashmere are naturally antimicrobial, and this is a surprisingly effective process.

step 2 - washing

Hand wash gently in cool water with a wool-safe detergent. We always recommend hand washing over machine washing.

However, if you want to machine wash, turn your knit inside out and place in a laundry bag to reduce friction. Use a wool detergent and a gentle or wool cycle with low temperature (20℃) and low spin (400rpm).

We cannot take responsibility for any laundry mishaps.

step 3 - drying

Roll your knit in a towel to soak up excess water. Then reshape it while it’s damp and let it dry flat. Whatever you do, avoid wringing or hanging your knits when wet—they hate it and will lose their shape.

step 4 - de-pilling and storing

De-pill with a fabric shaver to smooth away those fuzzy bits. These are just loose fibres in the yarn from the knitting process, so once they’re out the way, pilling slows right down.

When storing, fold, don’t hang. This prevents your knit from stretching out and losing shape.

A fresh alternative to the classic hat-and-scarf combo, this hood is knitted in Britain from 100% superfine Merino lambswool. Naturally warm, breathable, and luxuriously soft, it can be worn up for extra warmth or down around the neck as a chunky cowl.

About made to order

When you choose knitted to order, you're getting the exact same high-quality knitwear - just made especially for you, and at a lower price. Think: luxury, more value, less waste.

The only trade-off? You'll need to wait for our next production run for your piece to arrive. But hey, good things take time. Delivery will be 2-3 months after order deadline.

So why do we do it this way? Simple. We're on a mission to make exceptional knitwear more accessible, while cutting down on waste. This avoids overproduction and unnecessary stock and that saves us money. We pass those savings on to you. Win-win.

Worried it won’t fit? No stress. If we’ve got your size in stock, we’ll swap it. If not, we’ll make sure you’re included in the next production run.
