Care Instructions

How to care for your knitwear

Wash by hand

Always follow the care label on your garment. Where hand washing is recommended, use lukewarm water and a mild wool detergent. Gently wash without rubbing or wringing, then rinse carefully and press out excess water. Air your knitwear between wears and wash only when needed.

Dry flat

Support wet knitwear as you lift it. Gently roll it in a clean towel to absorb excess water, then reshape and lay flat to dry in the shade. Keep it away from radiators and direct heat. Avoid hanging wet knitwear, which can stretch it. Only tumble dry if the care label allows it.

Store gently

Fold knitwear rather than hanging it to help it keep its shape. Make sure each piece is clean and completely dry before putting it away. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and check stored knitwear regularly.

Repair kindly

A little care can help a favourite piece last longer. Avoid pulling or cutting loose yarn or snags. If your BÉBHÍNN knitwear is damaged and you are unsure what to do, email info@bebhinn.ie with a clear photo before attempting a repair.
