Knitted skirts for women in scandinavian design

The concept of slow fashion is close to our hearts and reflects an approach to fashion and design with focus on thoughtfulness and awareness. For us, this means designing timeless and sustainable knitted skirts, both long and short, with fits that do not follow fast trends. In our collection of knitted skirts you will find styles that last across several seasons. We often design garments to be paired together, allowing you to create a sustainable wardrobe. For example, you can combine your knitted skirt with a knitted sweater in the same material for a cohesive and conscious look.

How to extend the lifespan of your knitted skirt

Taking proper care of your knitted skirt can extend its lifespan by several years, which is something we truly value. Here we have gathered some useful tips and advice to help you enjoy your knitted skirt for years to come.

How should I care for my knitted skirt in wool?

Our knitted skirts for women are made from sustainable materials such as wool and cotton. This means that they do not need to be washed frequently, which helps to prolong the garment’s lifespan. Wool fibre is self-cleaning, with natural antibacterial and odour-resistant properties, meaning that washing is rarely necessary. Often, it is enough to simply air or steam the skirt to freshen it up. If your skirt gets a stain, remove it as soon as possible. If washing is required, always follow the care instructions on the garment. Wash in cold water, preferably on a wool programme, and use a detergent specifically adapted for wool garments.

Why does my wool skirt pill?

“Pilling” is both common and natural in a wool garment. It occurs when the shortest fibres in the yarn work their way to the surface. These small bobbles are easy to remove with a wool comb. Place the skirt on a flat surface and use a downward motion to remove the pilling. Repeat as needed.

How should I wash my knitted skirt?

Washing your knitted skirt correctly is important to ensure it stays in good condition for many years. For wool skirts, it is often enough to air them out and remove individual stains. If washing is necessary, keep in mind the following:

1. Always read the care instructions first. It is important to follow the washing advice to avoid damaging the garment. Use a mild detergent, preferably adapted to the material. Wash the skirt according to the instructions, either by hand or on a handwash/wool programme in the machine. Be careful with the temperature and ensure it does not get too warm. Use a laundry bag to protect the garment. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as this can damage the fibres and affect the shape.

2. After washing, do not wring or twist the skirt. Instead, lay it flat on a towel and roll it up to remove excess water. Then let it dry flat on a clean surface.

3. If ironing is needed, use a steam iron on low heat. Place a towel between the iron and the garment to avoid burning or damaging the wool fibres.

How should I store my knitted skirt?

Store your skirt in a dry and airy place when not in use. Avoid hanging it on a hanger, instead always fold your knitted skirt. Do not store it in a plastic bag or in direct sunlight. If you have a wool skirt, it can be susceptible to moths. Always make sure the skirt is clean and dry before putting it away. Invest in cedarwood moth repellents and store them together with your wool garment.
