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.
