Care Instructions

To keep your woollens looking good hand-washing is advised. Instructions accompany each garment, but in case these have gone "by the wayside" here they are again:

• use luke warm water with a liquid detergent (such as Stergene)
• Allow the garment to soak as the water cools
• rinse in cool water and towel or spin dry
• shake out and re-shape allowing the garment to dry flat
• do not rub and be sure that water is lukewarm .
• Dry away from heat.

In case of mishaps or rigorous wear, we include darning yarn with every garment

Knitting Methods

We take great care in our hand-knitted woollens, in particular

• we cast on using a single needle and thumb, this gives an edge that is neat, stretchy and resilient. Select the image opposite to see instructions on how to cast on using the thumb method.

• Laced-sewn seams "give" evenly as the wearer moves. Select the image opposite to see how this is achieved.

• Child's Ganseys are knitted using the circular method and therefore have no stitched seams whatsoever.

• Quality Yarns that have body, allow stretch and keep their shape.

• Shoulders, front & back are cast off together - so again no sewn seams.
