MY SWEATER IS PILLING, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHY PILLING HAPPENS:
Your sweaters pill because the fibres in them aren’t all the same length and fabrics are all different: how thick a fabric is also affects how fragile it is. You use your sweater and it rubs against other clothes or itself depending how you move. For example, you’ll have more pilling under the armholes and down the sides because this is where your sweater rubs the most. By the way, pilling doesn't mean that your sweater’s life is over, on the contrary! As it gets washed, your sweater will lose the pilling because the shorter fibres will harden and won't tangle so much as at the beginning.
HOW CAN YOU REMOVE THEM?
A /
Textile razors
They help you remove pilling, but only superficially (because it can come back after) but it can be ok for the day. It’s great when you don't have much time and so you don’t make any holes! Rasor blades work too: take the time to run the blade lightly against the sweater, without being too close to avoid making holes, to trim the pilling.
B /
A fine comb
It works faster at removing pilling than razor blades. However, be careful that you don’t go too fast by pulling on the fabric, as this will cut the threads and make them shorter, which means that pilling will build up again.
TWO SOLUTIONS!
HOW CAN YOU AVOID PILLING?
  • • Don't overload the machine, turn the sweater inside out before washing, and use an eco-friendly washing detergent. All that will help avoid rubbing.
  • • You can put your sweater in the freezer for one to two hours to set the fibres and avoid the shorter threads tangling. This tip works well but doesn't last, you’ll be ok for a few hours but will need to be careful of pilling and have to do it again.
  • • Choose a natural softener, avoid chemical softeners.
MY SWEATER IS ITCHY, WHAT CAN I DO?
TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHY YOUR SWEATER IS ITCHY:
Your sweater itches because of the rigidity of the fabric due to the diameter of the wool fibres. If it is more than 28 micrometres, it will irritate. The finesse of the wool depends on two main criteria:
  • • The animal it comes from: sheep, goat, alpaca, lamb,...
  • • How the wool was prepared (carded or combed, knitted or woven, etc.) which also plays an important role in the final result.
WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?
A /
The freezer
After being kept in the freezer, an itchy sweater won’t make you feel itchy anymore. The cold acting on the garment means the wool fibres are tightened and makes them feel nicer to the touch.

You must:
  • • Wrap the garment in a freezer bag
  • • Put it in the freezer for 2 to 3 days
  • • Get the garment out of the freezer and leave it to rest flat, so air can flow around it.
B /
A natural homemade softener
A natural product will help to make the garment softer and limit how itchy it feels.

You must:
  • • Add two teaspoons of plant glycerine (or white vinegar) to the washing water in the machine.
  • • Start a delicates wash
  • • Run a second delicates cycle or rinse the garment by hand
  • • Gently lay the garment out flat, out in the open.

HOW DO I PUFF UP MY PADDED JACKET AFTER WASHING IT?
Wash your padded jacket on 30°C maximum, on its own in the machine to avoid compressing the fabric. You can add 2 new tennis balls to encourage the padded jacket having good aeration when it’s being washed. A gentle spin must be used for the padded jacket.

See the tips on the DIFFERENT TYPES OF WASHING AND SPINS.

Try your piece flat, preferably with a dry towel under it. The “puffed up” look will come back while it’s drying.
HOW DO I LOOK AFTER MY RAW JEANS?
Raw jeans need special care. Soak them in a bowl of water with white vinegar and coarse salt to set the colour, then leave as much time as possible between washing. Your jeans will keep the patina they’ve built up over time while you’ve been wearing them.
