At Phil Petter, practically every sweater is pre-washed before it is made. This reduces shrinkage and makes the garment easier to care for for the end consumer. We therefore recommend the following washing:
Care
Basics for the care of knitwear
Fine, high-quality sweaters should also be cared for with the appropriate care. By regularly airing them out on a suitable hanger, you can delay washing them, because washing them too often is not necessary, especially with wool, and is also not good for the fibers.
The washing.
We wash almost all knitted items before they are made. The reason for this is that shrinkage is prevented. This is a huge advantage for the end consumer. In our in-house laundry, we only wash with vinegar, which is a completely natural, environmentally friendly method. Vinegar softens the water in Vorarlberg, which is quite calcareous, and fixes the color. The high-quality fibers we use do not require any artificial softeners or other chemical additives. You never have to wash a Phil Petter product before wearing it for the first time, because our knitted items are completely free of chemicals.
