How to measure

  • Shoulder width — across the back, from the edge of one shoulder straight across to the edge of the other. Keep the tape level.
  • Upper arm — around the widest part of your arm, usually around the bicep. Snug, but not tight.
  • Bust — around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level across your back. Do not pull it tight.
  • Waist — around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above the belly button.

These are body measurements, not garment measurements. If you fall between two sizes, choose the larger for a more comfortable fit.

Everything is made to order, so if you would like something adjusted to your measurements, just send me a message before ordering.

Garment Care

  • Hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent, or use a wool cycle at 30°C.
  • Do not wring or twist. Press the water out gently, then roll in a towel.
  • Dry flat, away from direct heat and sunlight, reshaping while damp.
  • Do not tumble dry and do not bleach.
  • Do not iron or steam. This piece contains polyamide, which melts and scorches under direct heat — even a warm iron will burn the fibres, and the damage cannot be undone.
  • Mohair and alpaca settle in storage. A gentle shake will bring the halo back.

Hand knitted from natural fibres, so a little gentleness goes a long way — treated well, these pieces last for years.
