Care for Your Wool Garments
Our garments are designed to last. With the right care, you can use them year after year. Here you will find simple guidance on how to wash, store and repair your wool garments.
Mending with Kitchener stitch
Choose yarn that matches the garment if you don’t want the repair to be visible; otherwise, use what you have at home.
Kitchener stitch is a sewing technique to pick up and repair broken stitches by connecting them to adjacent stitches. To reinforce the surface, stitch weak stitches before they unravel and create holes.
Simple Kitchener stitches can extend the life of your knitted garments and help you avoid the need to purchase new ones.
