Choosing a wool gift

Two practical questions come with giving a knitwear gift: what size to choose, and how the recipient will care for it. The first row below covers size, including which items on this page do not need a size at all. The second row addresses care, the factor that decides whether a wool gift stays in regular use.

Size without asking

Of the 99 pieces on this page, 31 are scarves and wraps and ponchos that need no size at all. The remaining 68 are sized. For the sized pieces, the shop offers fitting and sizing advice and style and fibre help. Phone enquiries are welcome on 0402 136 689. The two Melbourne shops are at 520 Bourke Street in the CBD and 79 Glen Eira Road in Ripponlea, open 10am to 6pm.

Care keeps it in use

The care question is whether a wool garment will felt and shrink or keep its shape. The wrong wash felts or shrinks wool fibres. The guide linked below covers water temperature, detergent choice and drying for wool and merino jumpers. Storing the item clean and folded rather than hung also helps maintain its shape.
