FAQs: More about the classic lambswool cardigan...
Is lambswool durable?
Because lambswool is a natural fibre, it is relatively strong and durable enough to withstand regular wear. Its natural elasticity also helps it maintain its shape over time, plus its breathable, moisture-wicking abilities enable it to absorb sweat and water vapour from the body to adapt to different weather conditions. However, proper care is important to maximise the longevity of any lambswool cardigan
Is lambswool soft?
Lambswool is made from the soft, fine wool that comes from the first shearing of a young lamb. It is known for its softness and warmth, and differs from wool made from adult sheep of the same breed because of its finer, softer qualities. This makes it ideal for clothing like women’s lambswool jumpers and cardigans that are meant to be worn next to the skin.
Will lambswool shrink?
Like many natural fibres, lambswool can shrink if it is not cared for properly.
Lambswool is sensitive to heat and excessive agitation and exposure to either of these can cause the fibres to shrink. With proper care, you can help to ensure that your lambswool cardigan retains its original size and shape for many years to come.
Some lambswool garments or accessories may also be made from untreated fibres, which can also contribute to shrinkage. To minimise shrinkage, it is important to follow the care instructions for your garment. This will usually involve gently washing your lambswool item in cold water - without fabric conditioner - and air drying them flat.
By taking these precautions, you can help to keep your lambswool jumpers and cardigans looking their best and minimise the risk of shrinkage.
Is lambswool itchy?
Regular sheep’s wool has been known to cause itchiness, however, lambswool is much finer and therefore a lot softer and less likely to irritate the skin.
Not only is lambswool soft and warm, but it is also hypoallergenic - although those suffering from allergies or sensitivities to lanolin (a natural substance found in wool) may be affected by the woollen fibres.
Lambswool is generally considered to be non-itchy, but this can vary depending on personal preference and skin sensitivity. For most people, lambswool is comfortable and non-irritating that can be worn next to the skin without causing discomfort.
If you have sensitive skin, it is always a good idea to test a small area of your skin before wearing a lambswool cardigan next to the skin. Some people find it useful to wear a layer underneath a lambswool jumper to create a thin barrier between the fibres and the skin. We like to recommend wearing a lightweight blouse or top underneath women’s cardigans and jumpers for the ultimate comfort and style.

Can lambswool be washed?
Lambswool is washable, but it is important to follow the product’s care instructions to ensure that it is washed correctly. Wool fibres can shrink and misshapen if they are exposed to high heat and abrasion, so it is important to wash lambswool items carefully.
Lambswool cardigans from Country Collection can be machine washed on a gentle cool wash cycle (30°C or less). Avoid using fabric softener and tumble drying as this can affect the qualities of the natural fibres, and avoid ironing. Air dry the woollen garment flat then store flat to retain its shape.
Does lambswool pill?
Often called ‘bobbling’, pilling is where fuzzy balls of fibres appear on the surface of woollen clothing that can affect the appearance of your garment.
Lambswool, like any wool, can have a tendency to pill (bobble). You can help protect the fibres by making sure you only use a gentle wool or delicate wash cycle with a slow spin speed, avoid using fabric softener, and turn your knitted garments inside-out before washing.
Pills can easily be removed by shaving with a tool such as a wool razor, lambswool comb or fabric shaver.
