Materials & Care

Made from 100% soft, high-quality wool sustainably raised from sheep in Southern Peru.

Wash your knitwear carefully by either hand-washing or machine washing using a cold, gentle knitwear cycle and wool-approved detergent. To protect the ceramic buttons, ensure they are fastened and wash the knit inside out. You can also wrap the buttons in a soft cloth while washing.

We recommend avoiding unnecessary washing, as this can affect a garment's longevity. To dry knitwear, roll out excess water using a towel and dry flat on a rack away from heat.
