Aimsir Soft Merino Knit Wrap
Soft tweed pure merino wool, spun in West Donegal
Every wool handloomed wrap consists of 60,000 stitches all hand loomed by us.
Each piece is cast on and cast off by hand with a double thickness of yarn and after knitting is given a light washing to increase the softness and drape.
The word 'Aimsir' is Irish for weather, something we talk a lot about. It is pronounced 'Am-Sure' (say it quickly!)
My wool is so healthy to wear and antibacterial.
What is a handloomed knit?
Handloomed means a hand operated knitting machine is used, no electricity needed!Each stitch is cast on individually, each line or row is made by moving a knitting ‘carriage’ across a bed of needles. The eyes and hands work together skillfully with not a power cable in site!
Size One Size 22 x 78 in (56 x 200 cm) Size may vary slightly
Composition : 100% lightweight merino wool spun in Donegal Ireland
Made to order one stitch at a time. Allow two weeks for Wraps and four weeks Handknits. We aim to surprise you sooner where possible.
How to care for me
I don’t need much washing although my Italian cousins say that I’m a gorgeous natural thing and washing improves me! .
Bullet point care summary:
- Roll up when stored
- 30 degree hand or machine wool wash cycle
- Only recommended detergents
- Squeeze all excess water out after a handwash (roll in a dry clean towel)
- Dry flat, NEVER tumble dry
- Avoid direct sunlight
- Hang-up if you wish, choose the hanger carefully (incase shoulders get stretched)
- Dry cleaning is allowed, but we prefer washing
- Often all that’s needed is to hang in the air a few hours to refresh
- Avoid seat belts and cross - body bags due to fabric abrasion
