  • Always make sure to check the garment care instructions.
  • When washing and drying, avoid exposing your knitwear to high temperatures and direct sunlight.
  • Only iron your knits if absolutely necessary, using a low-temperature setting and a protective, clean cloth between the fabric and the iron.
  • Never hang, rub or twist knitwear, as this can ruin the fabric and shape of the garment.
