THE P&CO KNITWEAR CARE GUIDE

Store Them Properly

How you store your knitwear makes a huge difference. Hanging your knits can stretch out the shoulders and distort their shape over time. Instead, fold them neatly and keep them in a cool, dry place. If you’re tucking them away for the season, consider using breathable cotton storage bags or boxes to protect against dust and moths.

You can also add a few natural moth repellents- like cedar balls or lavender sachets- to keep your knits fresh and safe.

De-Pill and Refresh

Even the highest-quality knits can pill a little with wear- it’s a natural part of the fabric’s life. Use a fabric comb or de-pilling device to gently remove any fuzz and restore a smooth finish. To revive your knit between washes, try airing it out overnight or giving it a light steam to release wrinkles and odours.

Handle with Love

When putting on or taking off your knit, avoid pulling at the sleeves or neck. These small moments of care help maintain the garment’s original shape and elasticity.

Rotate and Rest

If you’ve fallen in love with a particular cardigan or jumper (and we wouldn’t blame you), try not to wear it every single day. Giving your knitwear a little rest between wears allows the natural fibres to relax and recover- extending its life even further.

Gentle washing, flat drying, careful storage, and mindful handling are all it takes to keep your knitwear looking as good as new. Treat them well, and they’ll reward you with comfort, warmth, and timeless style season after season.
