History:
Aran is a style of jumper that takes its name from the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland. A traditional Aran sweater is usually off-white in colour, with cable patterns on the body and sleeves.
Originally, Aran sweaters were knitted using unscoured wool that retained its natural oils, making the garments water-resistant and meaning they remained wearable for the fishermen even when wet.
These were known to take 6-8 weeks to knit.
Old style Irish Aran Jumpers and as featured in Vogue magazine in the 1950's.

About Pilling
Pilling is a natural characteristic of fine wool fibres, including our soft merino. It happens when short or loose fibres rub together during wear and form little balls or "pills" on the surface of the fabric. This is especially common in areas where there’s more friction—like under baby’s arms, around the legs.
Less chemically treated or coated wool retains more of its natural softness, which we love — but it may pill more than superwash-treated wool, which has been smoothed or coated to reduce friction
What to Do
Pilling is completely normal and doesn’t mean your garment is faulty - it’s just your woollens settling in. The good news is that it usually lessens after a few gentle washes.
To remove pills, we recommend using a wool comb or a fabric shaver very lightly. Always be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate knit. After removing pills and washing carefully, your merino will return to its smooth, soft feel.
With a little care, your Weebits knits will continue to look beautiful and last for years to come.
Care for Your Brushes
Remove loose hair.
Wash in lukewarm water with a touch of shampoo.
Dip ONLY the bristles in water and move the brush back and forth.
Please take care to ensure that the brush body does not get too wet.
After this, rinse the brush well in clear water and place on a cloth for drying.
The bristles should point down during the drying process.
Never leave brush to dry near a heater – room temperature is ideal.
Sheepskin Rugs
Quick Care:
Use occasional vacuuming, shaking, brushing and spot cleaning using Woolskin wool wash
These instructions will help keep your Classic product in new condition for years to come!
You may notice a “new leather” smell when receiving a new sheepskin or sheepskin product. This is not a harmful smell and will naturally disperse with time. The rug does not need to be washed, but can benefit from a good shake and an airing. We recommend airing your rug if required in an open space out of direct sunlight, as wool does filter odours from the environment.
Classic sheepskin products are easy care and regular brushing, vacuuming and shaking helps restore the pile and keep them free from dust.
The leather side can be easily damage by incorrect washing, therefore the steps provided will help reduce the risk.
To clean, spot cleaning or hand cleaning is always best but our sheepskins are also machine washable in cold water on a gentle wool wash.
When hand cleaning use a small amount of water and wool-wash as per the details below. Lightly sponge over the wool side only focusing on rubbing through the wool and not the skin underneath. Start in the middle and sponge out to the edges. Brush to restore pile and dry slowly in the shade. Once dry give the sheepskin a good shake and another brushing with a pet brush if needed.
If Machine Washing:
- Only use a small amount of an approved Neutral or Mild Sheepskin Wash.
Woolskin wool wash is always recommended. If unavailable, then just use water. - Do not use Eco Store wool wash for these sheepskin rugs.
- Only use cold water.
- Avoid Direct Heat when drying, dry outside in the shade or inside away from heaters, radiators or fires. Using a clothes rack to lay the sheepskin flat is a good way to dry a skin.
- Do not let the sheepskin dry out too fast, it is best to leave a small amount of moisture in the skin.
- After the sheepskin is dry, brush with a pet brush to restore pile and finish with a solid shake.
Sheepskin Footwear
- Avoid getting moisture on footwear as this can stain. If footwear does need cleaning it is best spot cleaned, using a small amount of approved Neutral or Mild Sheepskin Wash liquid and a cloth. Follow the rules above and treat like you would cleaning carpet.
