Care
The Heritage is a slightly hairy yarn. Handwash your jumper in a 30°C water using gentle washing products in small quantities. Don’t rub your garment, instead let it soak in water. Rinse with clear water at the sale temperature without adding softeners. Remove excess water without wringing and leave to dry in a well-ventilated space. You may also use the wools setting on your washer if it comes with a cradle wash system. Iron your garment if necessary, using the low heat setting on your iron (110°C) and avoid pressing down with the soleplate. Spread out washes and air it regularly to preserve your garment longer.
