General Information

How to measure yourself

Chest: Measure the fullest part of your chest with a tape measure running under your arms and across your shoulder blades

Waist: You can find your natural waistline by putting your hands either side of your waist and bending to one side. Where you bend is your waistline.

Length: To find your required garment length measure from nape of neck to desired finished length.

Wool sample chart

Although all yarns are dyed to the same specification some colour variation may occur, I am happy to send samples which will give you an indication of the actual colour.

Care and washing instructions

All the yarns are made from British pure new wool and there may be a tendency for the extra fine fibres to ball together to cause areas of ‘pilling’ if they are exposed to rough surfaces. These pills can be removed using a fine knitwear comb.

We recommend hand washing in accordance with BS984 but it must be done with care following these instructions, as heat agitation and soap can cause felting:

• Soak the item in lukewarm water using a mild wool wash product, i.e. Lakeland’s lavender wool wash.
• Squeeze suds through the fabric without rubbing, stretching or wringing
• Rinse in several changes of clean, lukewarm water
• Each time you remove the item from the water make sure you squeeze out all the excess water. The weight of water can cause stretching
• Re-shape and dry flat. Do not tumble dry as this will cause shrinkage
• Pressing can be done lightly with a cool iron
