PRODUCT CARE

Here are some easy-to-follow tips to keep your Imarit knits looking, smelling, and feeling fresh all season long:

Washing:

• Hand-wash gently: Dissolve detergent in water (max. temperature 30ºC). Wash the garment for 15 minutes, avoiding excessive soaking. Rinse thoroughly with water at the same temperature. To remove excess water, gently stretch or rub the garment.
• Machine Wash: Use a delicate cycle with low temperatures and reduced spin. Use a mild detergent or wool wash without bleach. Use a washing bag to prevent damage from buttons and zippers. Wash similar colors together, and turn clothes inside-out to protect the surface and color.

* Bonus Tip: Air out your garment before washing to save time and water, and reduce environmental impact.

Drying:

• Roll the knit in a towel to remove excess water instead of wringing it out. Hanging your knitwear to dry can cause it to stretch out of shape. Lay the knitted clothing flat on a towel and reshape it slightly. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight.

Storage:

• Fold knitted pieces instead of hanging them to maintain their shape.
• Use natural moth repellents like lavender, rosemary, mint, or cedar. Refresh them every few months.
• Launder or dry clean clothing before extended storage to prevent moth damage.
• Keep knitwear in vacuum-sealed bags during summer to protect against insects.

Ironing:

• Iron the fine knitted piece on the inside to prevent marks on the outside.
• For alpaca and silk blends, use a damp cloth over the garment while ironing.
• Invest in a good ironing board to avoid noticeable marks from the metal braid.

Pilling:

• Natural fiber garments like alpaca may develop fuzzy balls called "pilling" due to friction. It's normal and can be easily removed.
• Use a special pill comb or electric pill remover to remove the pills.
• Avoid tearing the fiber by attending to pilling regularly.

Care and Repair:

• Don't worry if a seam opens, a button loosens, or a tear occurs. Wear and tear are normal.
• Learn the care symbols on clothing labels to understand how to care for your piece.
• Keep your alpaca piece aired out after each use to reduce the need for washing.
• Consider wearing a base layer t-shirt to prolong the garment's lifespan.

*By following these care tips and showing some love to your Imarit knits, you'll enjoy long-lasting satisfaction and appreciation for your favorite pieces.
