Every Nome garment carries a story — of craft, patience, and balance with nature. To preserve that story, we believe in slow care.
If a garment ever shows unexpected wear or other faults over time, we’ll be here to help. Each case is reviewed individually so we can decide together what’s best — whether that’s a repair, replacement, or guidance on how to restore it yourself.
Good care makes good pieces last longer. Our yak wool garments are naturally durable, but a few simple habits will help them stay beautiful year after year.
Yak wool naturally resists odor and bacteria. Simply air out your garment after use — washing is rarely needed.
When needed, hand wash in lukewarm water with mild wool detergent. Do not rub, twist, or soak for long. Rinse gently and treat with care.
Press out water with a towel and lay flat to dry. Avoid sunlight, heat, or hanging — it can stretch the fibers.
Fold your knitwear and keep it in a breathable cotton bag.
Avoid plastic. Use cedar or lavender to protect against moths.
Yak wool naturally pills less than other wool. However, it can still pill over time, especially in high-friction areas like under the arms.
Remove pills gently with a wool comb.
It’s part of the life of a natural fiber — and a sign of authenticity.
