Holebrook Martina WP Ladies Windproof Sweater
£99.95 - £149.95
Wind-lined plain-knit sweater in a soft wool blend. Hidden zipper and high collar. Practical thumbholes for extra warmth. Drawstring at the hem and regular fit. The sweater has a windproof lining that consists of 96% polyester and 4% elastane. No chemicals are used to achieve the windproof function. Instead, the lining is manufactured with a special weaving technique that makes the fabric extremely tightly woven and therefore also windproof, while the fabric breathes. The elastane makes the fabric stretchy, which means that it stops the wind but not movement. The fabric is labeled with ÖKO-tex® Standard 100, which guarantees that the fabric is free from harmful substances. Sustainably produced in Europe.
AIR DRY
Wool is a self-cleaning fibre. It has natural antibacterial and odour-resisting properties, which means that wool garments stay fresh for much longer than cotton and synthetic garments without the need for washing. This means fewer washes over the life of the garment and less impact on the environment. The best way to ventilate your wool garments is to air dry them. Hang your wool garment out overnight, preferably in damp weather. If you get a stain, try to remove it as quickly as possible to avoid washing. Use a mild detergent. If a musty smell persists, it may be time to wash.
WASHING
If your woollen garment is not fresh after airing or is stained, it may be time to wash it. Always check the washing instructions on the garment first. It is important to wash wool in cold water, no hotter than 30 degrees. You can machine wash our wool garments on a wool cycle or hand wash cycle. However, it is important to use a detergent designed for wool or a mild detergent with a PH of 6-8. Conventional detergents contain enzymes that break down the wool fibre directly. Use a washing bag to protect the garment. Never use bleach or fabric softener as this can damage the wool fibres and cause the garment to lose its shape.
DRYING
Never wring or squeeze the water out of your woollen garment. Instead, place it on a dry towel and roll it up to remove excess water. Then lay it flat on a clean surface at room temperature to dry. Avoid direct sunlight.
IRONING
If your woollen garment needs ironing, use a steam iron on a low heat. Place a towel between the iron and the garment to avoid burning or damaging the wool fibres. It is also possible to steam your garment.
