Your Knitwear Guide

With so many options available on the market, there is a lot to think about when selecting knitwear. To make sure you are making wise and informed informed purchaases, there are a few key things to consider, ranging from material and quality to weight and maintenance.

Material

Look out for the fabric composition. Popular materials for knitwear include cotton, wool, cashmere, and blends of these fibers. Each material has its own characteristics in terms of warmth, softness, and durability.

Quality

Keep an eye out for tightly woven stitching and consistent tension throughout the garment. Quality knitwear, whilst more expensive, tend to last longer and maintain its shape over time making it a worthwhile investment.

Weight

Lightweight, breathable knits such as cotton are more suitable for the warmer spring weather, whilst heavier knits such as wool and cashmere are better suited to shield you from the bitter cold that winter brings.

Maintenance

Check the care instructions before you buy. Some materials may require special care, such as hand washing or dry cleaning. Consider your willingness and ability to maintain the garment as recommended to ensure you get the most out of your purchase.
