a less-is-more approach

Natural fibre knitwear rarely needs washing. Simply air it between wears and spot clean small marks when needed.

For an added refresh, use the Coastal Walks Garment Refresher Spray, handmade on the Norfolk coast to revive knitwear between washes.

When a more thorough wash is needed, follow the guide below.

Wash Guide

Washing
Hand wash individually in cool water. Avoid hot water, as heat can cause natural fibres to shrink or felt. Use a gentle cashmere shampoo for wool and cashmere.

Drying
Gently press out excess water without wringing. Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry.

Storing
Fold rather than hang your knitwear to preserve its shape. Store with cedar balls to help protect against moths.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Can I wash my knitwear in a washing machine?

We don’t recommend machine washing. Even on a delicate cycle, a machine can expose natural fibres to heat and agitation that may affect the shape and finish of the garment. Hand wash in cool water with a gentle cashmere shampoo instead.

Can I iron my knitwear?

Avoid ironing directly, as heat and pressure flatten the loft that gives knitwear its softness. Steam lightly from a distance instead, and allow the piece to cool before folding or wearing.

How should I store my knitwear between seasons?

Wash your knitwear before storing, then fold rather than hang it to preserve its shape. Store with cedar balls to help protect against moths.
