Taking good care of your vegan knitwear ensures it remains in excellent condition and continues to support your sustainable lifestyle. Here’s how to keep your vegan knitwear looking its best:

1. Washing Instructions:

• Temperature: Wash your knitwear on a gentle 30-degree Celsius (86°F) cycle. This lower temperature helps preserve the fibers and colors while being energy-efficient.
• Detergent: Use a non-bio detergent to avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the material or affect its quality. A gentle, eco-friendly detergent is ideal.
• Machine or Hand Wash: While machine washing on a gentle cycle is convenient, hand washing in cool water is even gentler and can help maintain the knitwear’s shape and texture.

2. Drying Tips:

• Line Dry: The best way to dry your knitwear is to lay it flat on a clean, dry towel. This prevents stretching and maintains the shape of the garment.
• Radiator Drying: Alternatively, you can place the knitwear on a radiator, but avoid direct heat. Make sure it's laid out flat to prevent deformation.
• Avoid Tumble Drying: Never use a tumble dryer, as the high heat can cause shrinkage and damage the fibers.

3. Storing Your Vegan Knitwear:

• Fold, Don’t Hang: Store your knitwear folded rather than hung. Hanging can stretch out the fabric, particularly at the shoulders.
• Keep It Cool: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading.

4. Handling Stains:

• Spot Clean: For small stains, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and a bit of non-bio detergent. Avoid rubbing too hard to prevent damaging the fibers.
• Full Wash: If your knitwear needs a full wash, follow the washing instructions above to ensure it’s cleaned thoroughly yet gently.

By following these care tips, you’ll extend the life of your vegan knitwear, keeping it looking great and supporting your commitment to sustainable fashion.

How to Choose the Right Size

Finding the perfect fit for your vegan knitwear is easy with our detailed size guide. Here’s how to make sure you select the right size:

1. Check the Size Chart:

• Size Chart Link: On each product page, you’ll find a link to our Size Chart next to the size selector. This chart provides clear guidelines to help you choose the size that best matches your measurements.
• Measurement Guide: The Size Chart includes measurements for different sizes, such as chest, waist, and length. Compare these with your own measurements to determine your best fit.

2. Compare with a Similar Garment:

• Hand-Measured Knitwear: We hand-measure all our knitwear to ensure accurate sizing information. You can compare these measurements to a similar piece of clothing you already own.
• How to Measure: Lay your existing knitwear flat and measure it from the outside, following the same guidelines provided in our Size Chart. This will help you find a size that matches your preferred fit.

By following these steps, you’ll be able to select the right size for your new vegan knitwear and enjoy a comfortable, stylish fit.
