Marlina: stylish and warm wool vest

This warm, wool outdoor vest features a special knit stitch in a V-motif. The warm pink hue, combined with subtle dark accents, gives the vest a unique look. Thanks to the soft fleece lining, the vest feels wonderfully comfortable. This thick, warm vest is delightful to wear as a transitional jacket in spring and autumn!

Outer: 100% New Zealand sheep's wool
Lining: soft, black fleece (polyester)
High collar and detachable hood
Durable YKK zipper
Two front pockets
Inside pocket with zipper

Good to know: due to its knit pattern, this cardigan is heavier and warmer than most Shakaloha cardigans.

Care

Wash at 30°C with wool detergent. Always follow the washing instructions on the label carefully to keep the cardigan in top condition.

Wool is a fine material for making clothes because it is antibacterial and odor-resistant. Woolen clothing therefore does not need to be washed often. Hang the garment outside occasionally so that it can freshen up. If you do want to wash the garment, we recommend the Texelana Wool Detergent. When hand washing, never rub hard to prevent felting. Always check the label in the garment for washing instructions. Always lay woolen clothing flat to dry.

If you treat your woolen garment this way, it will not only stay looking better and last longer. By airing instead of washing, you also protect the environment.

Storing woolen clothing

We recommend storing your woolen clothing clean, possibly with a sachet of lavender; this keeps moths away. It is also best to store woolen clothing flat so that the elasticity of the wool is not affected.

Pilling and fluff

Wool can pill or fluff with use. This has nothing to do with the quality of the wool. Pilling is a natural phenomenon that mainly occurs due to friction. Wool consists of many hairs with a natural crimp (curls). Due to friction, the wool can pill and felt. In felting, the hairs join together due to friction. In fact, every movement causes friction. You will therefore often find the fluff/pills on the sleeves and under the armpits.

With new clothes, there may also still be some loose hairs left after the weaving and knitting process.

Unfortunately, pilling and fluff on your beautiful (merino) woolen clothing cannot be prevented. We have some tips to somewhat delay this process and how to remove the fluff and pills. For this information, we refer to our blog.
