CARING FOR YOUR KNITWEAR
There is nothing quite like the cosiness of your favourite knitted jumper.
We love the feel + quality of natural fibres and believe they enhance our general well-being.
To keep your knitwear looking & feeling beautiful,
here is a guide to help you care for your
Luna knits + understand our quality.
MERINO WOOL
Australian Merino wool is the finest in the world.
Our EASY CARE Woolmark® Merino is machine washable + tumble dry.
We love its robust, soft, resilient qualities and applaud our Aussie sheep farmers.
Breathable + ecological, wool is a renewable resource. It is odour + crease resistant, naturally insulating and antibacterial.
And it’s wonderfully warm … a gift from nature.
Only wash occasionally,
wool is a self-cleaning fibre.
We recommend
. Wool cycle machine wash with extra spin
. Eco-friendly liquid laundry detergent … not too much
. Tumble dry on low heat … don’t overcook it
. OR spin + dry flat in shade
. Air your knits more regularly than washing
. Fold knitwear … do not hang
. Store knits with Lavender or Cedar wool felt balls
Natural yarns can pill – it is not a defect – just friction at the end of the fibre.
We use Fabricare electric fabric shaver … it will make your knits look like new.
PURE COTTON
Our Soft Combed Cotton is OEKO TEX certified
– machine wash and tumble dry quality.
Melange yarn is our signature look and feel.
A mix of 2 or more fibres creating a marle effect
