Care Instructions
Hand wash gently in cool water
Use a mild detergent suitable for wool, cashmere, and viscose blends
Lay flat to dry on a horizontal surface
Do not wring, twist, or agitate
Elastane requires cool water to preserve stretch

Swatching Required
A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. This complex blend may bloom slightly after washing. The elastane provides gentle recovery and the blend affects drape and gauge significantly, so accurate swatching ensures proper fit and yardage estimates.
