Caring for your ACIEN piece
A little thoughtful care helps preserve the texture, shape and character of your knitwear. Our garments are handwash only. Take your time when washing, support the fabric while wet and allow each piece to dry naturally.
How to handwash
- Fill a clean basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of mild detergent suitable for delicate fibres. For alpaca and merino-containing pieces, choose a detergent suitable for wool, without enzymes or bleach.
- Gently immerse the garment and move it through the water without rubbing, scrubbing or twisting. Avoid prolonged soaking.
- Rinse gently in clean water, supporting the garment rather than lifting it by one edge.
- Press out excess water without wringing. Lay the piece on a clean towel, roll it gently and press to absorb moisture.
Drying your knitwear
Carefully reshape the garment and lay it flat on a clean, dry towel, away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not hang wet knitwear, as its weight can stretch the fabric. Do not tumble dry.
Special details
Pieces with branches or other decorative elements may need a different approach. Contact studio@acien.es before washing these items so we can advise you on your particular piece.
