Caring for yak wool is easy!

• Wash : on the wool cycle of your washing machine inside a wash bag or by hand in cold water. Either way, use very little detergent, do not rub or twist the yarn. 
• Dry : remove excess water, reshape your knit and lay flat to dry, away from direct sunlight and never in a tumble dryer. 
• Care : Yak wool is very resistant and does not pile. Remove any wrinkles using steam or a low-heat iron on the wool setting, avoiding the seams. 
• Store : Keep your knits folded rather than hung on hangers to avoid stretching them down. Palace natural moth repellents in your wardrobe for safekeeping.

Investing in a sustainable knitwear item from L'Envers provides significant long-term value compared to fast-fashion alternatives. While fast-fashion pieces may be cheaper initially, they often require frequent replacements due to poor quality. L'Envers items, crafted from high-quality, eco-friendly materials like mulesing-free wool and organic cotton, are designed to last for years, thus reducing their cost per wear and their environmental impact.
At L'Envers, we focus on sustainable practices by knitting on demand in a family-run atelier in Spain, ensuring fair wages and avoiding overproduction. Our durable items offer more wears over time than their fast-fashion alternatives. Additionally, the way you care for your clothes plays a big role in their longevity. You can find extensive advice on garment care on our website. While very durable, our pieces are not eternal and their natural materials will eventually show signs of time. We believe this adds a je-ne-sais-quoi and is something to celebrate. Eventually, at the end of their lifespan, L'Envers pieces can be repurposed or recycled, leaving no lasting pollution. This makes our timeless knitwear a cost-efficient and eco-friendly investment. Join us in the slow fashion revolution.
