Premium knitwear is an investment in timeless comfort and effortless style. At SOIS, we craft our collections using high-quality, durable yarns designed to last for years. However, maintaining that day-one softness and perfect fit requires a little extra love.

Whether you are styling a short-sleeved mini knit dress for a summer evening or layering up for transitional weather, here is your ultimate knitwear care guide to keep your favorite pieces looking brand new.

1. Wash Wisely and Gently The golden rule of knitwear care is to avoid harsh temperatures and aggressive spinning. Always check the care label first. We highly recommend hand washing your knits in cold water using a mild, eco-friendly detergent. If you prefer using a washing machine, place your garment in a mesh laundry bag and select the delicate or wool cycle with cold water. Never use bleach or harsh chemicals.

2. The Art of Drying: Keep It Flat Never wring out wet knitwear, as this will distort the shape and stretch the fibers. Instead, gently press the excess water out. Lay the garment flat on a clean, dry towel and roll it up to absorb the remaining moisture. Afterwards, unroll it and lay the piece flat on a drying rack away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Never tumble dry your knits.

3. Banishing Pilling Naturally A common misconception is that pilling means poor quality. In reality, a small amount of pilling is a natural process for high-quality yarns caused by friction during everyday wear. To keep your knitwear looking pristine, simply use a cashmere comb or a fabric shaver. Gently glide it over the affected areas to remove any bobbles in seconds.

4. Smart Storage: Fold, Don't Hang Hanging knitwear is the quickest way to stretch out the shoulders and ruin the fit. Always fold your knitwear neatly and store it in a drawer or on a shelf. During the off-season, store your clean knits in breathable cotton bags alongside natural cedar wood blocks to protect them from moths and keep them smelling fresh.

Wear with Care, Sustainably Properly caring for your clothes is one of the most effective ways to support sustainable fashion. By extending the life of your SOIS knitwear, you are not only preserving your wardrobe essentials but also reducing your environmental footprint. Show your knits some care, and they will comfort you for a lifetime.
