Please take into consideration when you receive your super colossal knitwear piece that pilling may occur when worn. This is totally natural and due to the thick delicate, luxurious nature of the un-spun wool/yarn. Pilling is loose fibre, shedding or little balls that form when the knitwear piece is worn. This may happen more on the inside of the garment due to the friction against our clothes.

We recommend using our Hope Macaulay Knitwear Comb to brush through your knitwear piece, which you can order here. We swear by it! We find that this is the best way to keep our knitwear pieces looking great for years to come.

If you do not have one of our combs, we recommend using a technique called petting! By petting or stoking your chunky knit, it can bond any delicate fibres together. Also giving your knit a little shake is a great technique to get rid of any dust and keep your knit looking fresh.

We do not recommend wearing your Hope Macaulay knitwear piece when it is raining or snowing, unless you keep it dry by protecting with a coat! If you do happen to get caught in the rain in your knitwear piece, lay it on a flat surface to dry. Do not hang it up when it is wet, as this may put pressure on the knit due to heaviness caused by absorbed water.
