Elk Knitwear Care

We want to ensure your knitwear garment looks as good as possible for as long as possible and looking after it properly is the key

SUSTAINABLE CARE: Knitwear yarn is created by twisting fibres together. This process, as well as normal wear, will naturally cause fibres to break and knot together resulting in pilling or fuzz. Using a pilling comb combined with following the care instructions, will extend the life of your knitted garments.

WASHING & AIRING: Consider airing your knitwear garment whenever possible, rather than washing it. When washing is required, gently hand wash your garment inside out, in cold water, with a mild wool detergent. Squeeze out excess water. Do not wring or spin dry. Carefully pull your garment back into shape and dry flat in the shade.

Avoid washing unless necessary. Do not wash in a machine even on hand wash or delicate cycles. 
Knitwear can shrink up to 3cm in length and width however after pressing and wear, the yarn will relax and grow, all of which our production team consider for each design.

STORAGE: To avoid stretching, gently fold and store flat in drawers or on a shelf. Do not hang.
