How do I care for my new garment?
The golden rule is wash as seldom as possible and air frequently.
We call this ‘wind-washing’, hang your garment out in the air and you will be amazed at how fresh it becomes. Never machine wash; they should be washed by hand using wool washing detergent and in cool water below 30 degrees Celsius. Always dry your jumper flat and never put in a tumble drier.
How to stop moths from destroying my sweater?
Check your garments occasionally to make sure that you don’t have a moth or moisture problem. Perspiration and food stains attract moths. Brushing your jumper with a wool brush can loosen eggs, and simply popping your jumper into the freezer before you store it will kill them. Another tip is to store your sweater in a sealed clean plastic bag. This will prevent moths from attacking it.
What if I need to Wash my Sweater?
If you feel that you need to wash your jumper soak it in a cold hand wash liquid/powder for 3-5 minutes. Gently squeeze excess water off, never wring, twist or rub. To dry, roll the jumper in a towel to get rid of excess water. Pull into shape and dry flat.

The only wish I would have it that it would be longer. I love really long scarves.

I baulked a bit (initially) at the price, but gave in - and I'm glad I did. This thing is long, very warm, and light. In fact, for a cable-knit scarf that (at first glance) you'd wonder how it could possibly keep you warm, this is amazing. European winter in Scandinavia, this passed the test wonderfully.Only problem? How to get it back from my wife now she's "borrowed" it from me.

I live in the Appalachian foothills of northern Georgia. I get some low temps in the winter due to the elevation. I also wear hearing aids so I really need to keep the cold out of my ears. Hats always just popped off my head as I went about caring for my livestock. This scarf is long, soft, and warm. I can wrap it around my neck and over my head EZPZ. Can't recommend it enough.

This scarf is thick and blanket like. Beautiful color and quality. Definitely worth the money if you are looking for a thicker, heavy scarf. It wasn’t as soft as I would like.

I'm generally wearing scarves and mufflers all year round and this one is just perfect for the winter. Very warm, soft on the skin and its weight makes it easy to drape it nicely around the neck. Beautiful Irish pattern too, very classy.
