living with knitwear.
the best knitwear isn't meant to stay perfect. it's meant to become yours.
knits travel remarkably well.
when you unpack, don't reach for an iron. hang it in the bathroom while you shower — the steam does exactly what the fibers need.
no travel steamer. no ironing board. just patience.
every fiber has a personality
we choose each yarn for the piece it becomes. here's how to care for the three you'll find most often.
cotton
everyday easy.
- soft, breathable, washable, and made for repeat wear. knitted cotton has the comfort of your favorite t-shirt with more structure and dimension — treat it gently and it'll reward you for years.
- machine wash cold, gentle cycle — or hand wash.
- lay flat to dry.
- steam if needed.
merino wool
nature already did most of the work.
- temperature regulating, breathable, and naturally odor resistant. merino stays comfortable across changing temperatures and rarely needs washing — most of the time, airing it out is enough.
- wash only when needed.
- hand wash cold.
- lay flat to dry.
alpaca
exceptionally soft. surprisingly strong.
- lightweight, remarkably warm, and naturally insulating. alpaca gives you warmth without bulk, with a softness that feels luxurious but is made to last. like merino, it rarely needs washing.
- spot clean whenever possible.
- hand wash cold only when needed.
- lay flat to dry, store folded.
the questions we hear most
cotton knits, yes — cold water on a gentle cycle. for wool, cashmere, and alpaca, hand washing is gentler and helps the piece keep its shape and softness. when in doubt, hand wash.
less than you'd think. natural fibers resist odor and refresh beautifully between wears. wash when a piece actually needs it — not on a schedule. airing overnight handles most wears.
yes, and we recommend it. steam relaxes wrinkles and helps the fibers regain their natural shape. it's the easiest way to freshen a knit between wears.
we don't recommend it. direct heat flattens the stitch texture that makes a knit what it is. reach for steam instead — it does the same job without the pressure.
pilling is normal. natural fibers shed loose ends wherever there's friction — cuffs, sides, a shoulder-bag strap. it isn't a quality issue, and it's easy to fix.
lay the piece flat and pass a sweater comb or fabric shaver gently over the surface. work in one direction and go lightly — the surface cleans up quickly.
knits travel well. fold rather than roll to preserve the shape, and if wrinkles set in, hang the piece in a steamy bathroom while you shower. no iron required.
clean, folded, and never on a hanger. use a breathable cotton storage bag, and add cedar for long stretches between seasons. always store clean — marks set in over time.
