Maintenance of the wool cardigan

The alpaca wool cardigan is a soft, comfortable and warm knitted garment, ideal for cooler days. To prolong the life of your alpaca wool cardigan and maintain its appearance and soft texture, there are some care instructions you should follow.
Here are some tips for caring for your alpaca wool cardigan:
Hand wash: Avoid washing your alpaca wool cardigan in the machine, as this can cause damage to the knit and alter the shape and texture of the garment. It is best to hand wash it in warm water with a mild soap. Avoid using hot or cold water as this can also damage the wool.
Drying flat: After washing, do not wring the cardigan to dry. Instead, gently squeeze it to remove excess water and dry it flat on a clean towel. Avoid hanging it up, as this can stretch the knit and alter the shape of the garment. 
Use a fabric softener: To maintain the softness of alpaca wool, you can use a fabric softener specially designed for wool when washing.
Avoid rubbing: Avoid rubbing or brushing the alpaca wool cardigan as this can damage the wool fibers. If you need to remove lint or hair, use an adhesive roller instead.
Store it well: To store your alpaca wool cardigan, fold it gently and place it in a dry, airy place. Avoid hanging it, as this can alter the shape of the garment.
By following these care tips, you can extend the life of your alpaca wool cardigan and keep it looking soft and comfortable.
