We source the yarns for this sweater from renowned Italian spinner Filmar. The certified organic extra long staple Giza 86 cotton fiber is cultivated in Giza Egypt, then spun and dyed in Filmar's own subsidiaries in the same region. The yarn is shipped to our expert knitters in Romania, an Italian-owned family operation under the name Alextricot, for knitting, linking, and washing.

How to take care of cotton jersey

Cotton is the most used natural fabric worldwide. There are many types of cotton fabrics available and many uses for it. To be safe, we suggest you have a look at the care instructions for the specific item before washing. As a natural fiber, cotton is prone to shrinkage - the looser/more elastic the knit, the more potential shrinkage. At Asket we prewash all our clothing to eliminate shrinkage, but this is not always the case for cotton clothing. This is a general guide of how to care for cotton clothes, helping you make your garments look better and last longer.
