It is not necessary to wash your knitwear systematically after wearing them, sometimes it is enough to air them. For maintenance :
+ Use a very small quantity of a special wool detergent; be careful, too much detergent or too strong a detergent can cause your stitches to felt.
+ If you have any doubt, hand wash your knit with your fingertips in cold water. Wash it quickly, don't leave it soaking for hours. Rinse several times in cold water, without ever
twist.
+ Add to the last rinse water a few drops of
white alcohol vinegar to rid the wool of detergent deposits.
Drying a sweater is not an easy task, especially
never wring your stitches! Don't twist them either. Dry them by patting them dry with a towel. Then place your stitch on another towel, flat , it will return to its shape, and ironing will be unnecessary. If ironing is necessary, carry out
it upside down, with an iron not too hot, gently, without crushing it.
If your stitch has shrunk, a steamer stroke lengthwise will allow you to restore it to a nice size.
