FAQs about Women's Wool Jumpers, Cardigans & Knitwear
How do I prevent knitwear from stretching?
Always dry flat rather than hanging. Store folded, not hung, as hangers create shoulder bumps and stretching. Don't wring or twist your jumpers when washing. If a garment has stretched, re-wet it, reshape to original dimensions, and dry flat - wool fibres can reset. The better you care for it the longer it will last.
Can I wear Finisterre knitwear for both outdoor activities and everyday wear?
Absolutely, knitwear combines natural technical performance - warmth and breathability - with our refined, heritage inspired styling that looks good from the workshop to the Big Smoke and back. Also, their inherent quality and versatility mean that you buy less and wear what you buy for longer - good for you and the planet.
What's the best way to store wool knitwear between seasons?
Fold, never hang long-term, and store in breathable cotton bags or on shelves, avoiding airtight plastic which can trap moisture. Add natural moth deterrents like cedar blocks or lavender sachets. Store in a cool, dry, dark place and never store damp or dirty knitwear – moths love dirt.
