Tender hand wash is possible for small items (beanie, scarf, cowl). Cool water, no agitation, lay flat to dry. Specialized dry cleaning once a season is recommended for big pieces (sweater, blanket). Washing machine is also possible (using cold water only, delicate/wool cycle, without agitation, air dry only). But note that washing in a machine will make yarn thinner, harder to touch, some softness will be lost.

ABOUT THE YARN
Our chunky yarn is hand-spun from premium extra-fine merino wool. Its soft, smooth and lightly felted texture helps the sweater retain its shape and reduces shedding compared with untreated roving yarn.

CARE
Professional dry cleaning when needed is recommended.
For everyday care, gently air the sweater after wearing and store it folded rather than hanging.
We recommend using a fabric shaver to maintain the fresh appearance of chunky wool knitwear. Soft merino wool may develop light pilling, especially during the first wears and in areas of friction such as the sleeves, sides and underarms. This is natural and can be easily refreshed with a fabric shaver.
Gentle hand washing in cool water is possible when needed. Do not rub, twist or agitate the sweater. Gently remove excess water with a towel, reshape and lay flat to dry. Please note that chunky wool becomes very heavy when wet.
Machine washing is not recommended, as it may change the yarn texture and reduce its original softness and chunky volume.

Knit Design Studio is a small Ukrainian business based in Kyiv. We continue to work and safely ship orders worldwide.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions about sizing, colors or custom options.
