Knitwear Care Guide
How to keep your woolly jumpers in tip top condition.
Wool is a wonder material. It has an environmental impact which is just a fraction of that of synthetic materials (especially if its spun and knitted here in the UK), it is very long lasting, naturally anti-microbial, it’s super warm and comfortable, and it is completely naturally biodegradable.
Every piece of Community Clothing knitwear is knitted in Scotland, at three family owned knitting mills that have all been knitting for centuries, using exceptional quality Lambswool yarn spun in Yorkshire by one of Britain’s finest and oldest spinning mills. There’s a combined 700 years of knowledge and history that goes into our knitwear collection, and you can feel it in every piece.
