Knitting is not only the most beautiful (of course) but also, in some ways, the most delicate method of making clothing. That's why they need different care than our sweatpants.

Handwashing with gentle soap is always best. To avoid shrinking, never use boiling or hot water. For stubborn stains, let the knit soak in soapy water before gently washing it again. When drying, lay the item flat on a drying rack, as knitwear is flexible and can change shape depending on how it’s dried and stored.

If handwashing isn’t your thing, you can try machine washing at your own risk. Make sure to avoid washing knits with items like zippers that could snag the fabric. Use the lowest possible spin setting and temperature.

In conclusion, treat your knits with patience and care—sometimes even with a touch of gentle toughness—just like your best friend.
