Care Instructions

How to Care for 100% Cotton Knitwear

1. Washing

• Hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent (preferably biodegradable and fragrance-free).

• If using a machine:

  • Place sweater in a mesh bag

  • Use the delicate cycle

  • Cold water only

• Avoid bleach or fabric softeners — they degrade natural fibers.

Tip: Wash only when truly needed. Spot clean first to preserve the garment.

2. Drying

• Do not tumble dry — heat will shrink and distort the knit.

• After washing, gently press out water (don’t wring).

• Lay flat on a clean towel, reshape, and air dry away from direct sun or heat sources.

Tip: Flip the garment halfway through drying to maintain shape and texture.

3. Storing

• Store folded, not hung — hanging can cause stretching over time.

• Keep in a breathable cotton bag or on a shelf in a cool, dry place.

• Add lavender or cedar sachets to deter moths, especially during warmer months.

4. Ironing / Steaming

• If needed, use a low-heat iron or steamer, ideally with a pressing cloth to protect the fabric.

• Gently reshape with your hands while slightly damp if wrinkles persist
