How to care for your garment - Yarn manufacturer’s guidelines
Hand Wash, max 30°C / Dry Flat
Other important information from the yarn manufacturers
All yarns have excess fibres (from production) that might come off as lint or shedding, in varied degrees that depend on how the yarn is spun. Brushed yarns ("hairier" yarns) have more of these loose fibers than other yarns, and therefor, shed more.
Shedding also depends on what is worn under or over the garment, and whether this pulls at the yarn fibres. It’s therefore not possible to guarantee that there will be no shedding.
Below are some tips on how to get the best result when working with hairier yarns:
Do NOT use a lint roller, brush or any method that pulls at the yarn.
Place the garment in a plastic bag and put it in your freezer - the temperature will cause the fibres to become less attached to each other, and excess fibres will come off easier. Leave in the freezer for a few hours before taking it out and shaking it again.
Wash the garment according to the instructions on the yarn label. Garments worked with hairier yarns usually need to be shaken once dry after washing, so that the hairs rise and any excess fibers can come off.
Sustainability
This pieces is 100% knit by hand in 71% Superfine Alpaca, 25% Merino Wool, 4% Polyamide*. Yarn is purchased locally, and in small batches so that waste is kept to a very strict minimum.
MSGK yarn has been chosen for its quality, local availability, and the transparency of its producers.
MSGK pieces are transported by An Post, and packaged in simple but functional cardboard boxes sourced from Northern Ireland. Knits are wrapped in bright acid-free tissue paper. Labels and swing tags (which are tied using salvaged yarn and other natural fibers) were designed by a wonderful girl from Galway, and produced in the UK. Thank You cards and marketing material is designed in-house, and printed in Dublin.
