Will my knitwear shrink over time?
Will my knitwear shrink over time?
Over time and especially when it’s worn often, wool tends to loosen up. This often creates a little extra space in sweaters and accessories. This is normal.
If you decide not to dry clean your Lost Horizons products and prefer to hand-wash them, please make sure you follow our Product Care instructions. We’ve all heard shrinking horror stories when it comes to wool! To protect your knitwear, remember to NEVER use hot water for washing, and NEVER put your item in a dryer!
Can I wash my sweater in the washing machine?
Can I wash my sweater in the washing machine?
Washing machines can damage your sweater. We recommend dry cleaning your sweater once or twice per season, or hand-washing in cold water with a mild soap.
For detailed washing instructions, please see our Product Care page.
After a few wears, my sweater has developed little fuzzy balls. What are those?
After a few wears, my sweater has developed little fuzzy balls. What are those?
Garments with soft, fuzzy surfaces tend to be more susceptible to pilling, especially in friction areas (i.e. under the arms). The fibers that give those beautiful surfaces their texture and warmth sometimes become tangled during wear and cleaning. This is when ‘pills’, or matted areas, naturally form.
Regular brushing can smooth out the surface tangles before they become severe and difficult to remove. For detailed instructions on how to safely remove pills from your Lost Horizons knit, please see our Product Care page.
Why does my brand new Lost Horizons knit smell like that?
Why does my brand new Lost Horizons knit smell like that?
Lost Horizons sweaters are made from natural wool. Sometimes, the fibers have a ‘sheep-like’ smell, which stays with the sweater once it’s knitted and finished. This is completely normal and to be expected from a 100% natural material. You will notice this more if your sweater gets wet in the rain or when it's drying out after a delicate hand wash.
The best way to get rid of the smell is to hang your sweater outside to air out and make sure it is completely dry.
How should I store my sweater when I’m not using it?
How should I store my sweater when I’m not using it?
Since food stains and body oils attract moths, you should ensure your Lost Horizons knit is clean. We recommend packing your knit away in an airtight bag or container if you plan to store it for a long period.
