This garment is a Woollykins shop seconds. Why is it a second? It is in brand new condition, but arrived to us slightly damaged or faulty, maybe missing some packaging or just not quite right.
As a part of our You Mend It!Collection. Garments in this collection have slight repairable damage and are sold with darning thread for mending at home. As a part ofour new Circular clothing initiative *reNEWool*that finds a new home forpreloved, seconds Woollykins clothing, keeping textiles out of landfill and promotes the benefits of mending. Loved clothes last!
You Mend it! condition: Woollykins shop second, small ladder on left hip that needs to be repaired (see photos).
The garment has been assessed by Woollykins and still has a lot of value and life in it, and with a little care and mending will be a great addition to your wardrobe. Please see pictures for You Mend It! condition, followed by some of the original listing images.

Care: Handwash when required. See Wool Care. Size up if you want to use your gentle wool machine cycle as shrinkage may occur over time.
Note on using machine wash: Wool washing programmes of washing machines vary massively, therefore we can not grant warranty for any damages. With regards to using your wool washing machine cycle always use cold. If you choose to wash at 30 degrees the machine will still rinse with cold water and this shock to the fibres can cause the wool to shrink.
