Will my piece stretch out or shrink?Updated an hour ago
If cared for properly, your Pura pieces should hold their shape beautifully for years.
- Stretching is most often caused by hanging knitwear instead of folding it. Always fold your sweaters and store them flat — hangers create shoulder distortion and can drag fine yarns out of shape.
- Shrinking is almost always caused by heat. Avoid the dryer, avoid hot water, and avoid pressing knits with a hot iron. We recommend dry cleaning as the safest default; if you're washing at home, use cold water, lay flat to dry, and follow the care instructions on the label.
Our Care & Storage page has step-by-step guidance for washing, drying, storing, and reshaping if needed.
