How should I wash my Star Cardigan in Purple?

Wool knitwear should be washed gently to maintain its shape and quality. We recommend hand washing or using a cold,
gentle knitwear cycle with a wool-approved detergent. Avoid unnecessary washing, dry flat away from heat, and handle with care to extend the life of your Star Cardigan.

About Amano:

Rooted in over forty years of craftsmanship, Amano began with a journey through South America, and a deep appreciation for knitwear made a mano (by hand). Since 1988, we have worked closely with skilled artisans across Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, honouring time-tested knitting techniques and celebrating the human connection behind every piece.

Inspired by the past yet always looking to the future, Amano is committed to ethical, fair-trade production and the use of natural fibres. That’s why on our garment tags you’ll find the name of the exact knitter who handmade your sweater.

Over the last four decades, we have built long-standing relationships with knitters from the remote Carchi region and beyond, creating slow-made knitwear for colour lovers and free spirits who value authenticity, heritage and clothing made with care.
