Product Safety Information for EdelWear Lopapeysa Fair Isle Sweater

Safe Use Warnings:

This sweater is designed for general wear and should be used as outer or mid-layer clothing. Avoid exposure to open flames or high heat sources, as the natural fibers (merino wool, angora rabbit, silk) may be flammable.
Ensure proper fit to avoid discomfort; oversized or tight clothing may restrict movement.

Age Restrictions:

This product is intended for adult use (ages 16 and up). Not suitable for children under 16 due to the delicate nature of the hand-knitted fabric and potential for stretching or damage during rough use.
Keep away from infants and young children to prevent accidental entanglement in loose fibers or ribbed components (e.g., turtleneck).

Potential Hazards:

Individuals with allergies to wool, angora, or silk should avoid direct skin contact with the sweater. Consider wearing a base layer if sensitive to natural fibers.
Prolonged wear without proper cleaning may lead to skin irritation due to natural fiber properties. Follow care instructions to maintain hygiene.
Loose threads, if present, should be carefully trimmed with scissors to prevent unraveling or catching on objects.

Care and Maintenance for Safety:

Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent or dry clean to prevent fiber degradation or shrinkage, which could affect fit and comfort.
Lay flat to dry to maintain shape and prevent stretching. Avoid hanging, as this may cause deformation.
Store folded in a dry, cool place to prevent damage from moisture or pests (e.g., moths).

Disposal Instructions:

If the sweater is no longer usable, recycle it through textile recycling programs to reduce environmental impact.
Do not burn or dispose of in a way that releases natural fibers into the environment, as this may contribute to pollution.
Consider donating or repurposing the item if it is still in good condition.

Additional Safety Notes:

This sweater is hand-knitted in a smoke-free, pet-free workshop and undergoes wet-heat treatment before shipping to ensure cleanliness and quality.
Inspect the product upon receipt for any manufacturing defects (e.g., loose seams) and contact EdelWear immediately if issues are found.
