YOUR L’ENVERS KNITS

You still have a doubt? Contact us, we are always glad to advise you. You can email us at [email protected] , where we can give you personalized style and fitting tips! Send us your chest, waist, and hip measurements along with your height. If you’re up for it, photos always help us when providing a recommendation, as well!
We also have a customization service if you need specific dimensions for body or sleeves length for example. Email us at [email protected] for more info.
If despite our advice the size is not good, the return is easy and possible for most pieces. We will refund you the shipping costs entirely or partially depending on where you ship the parcel from. Please see full information in the RETURN section of this FAQ to find out more.
We may be able to do it for you! We have a customization service if you've identified a product you like but you wish it came in another color. Same thing if you need different dimensions such as body or sleeves length. This is the flexibility of knitting on demand! There are technical limitations we have to work with but it's worth asking! Do not hesitate to reach out!
Whatever the reason, we'd more than happy to help you over email at [email protected] or jump on a call to schedule here!
We'll happily answer your questions, assist you with your shopping experience and guide you through the new pieces.
This is always a tricky question as everyone has a different sensitivity to each wool. We provide a softness indication in every product page so that you can know a bit more, available in the DESCRIPTION section.
Here are a few facts about the softness of each of our fibers, keeping in mind that depending on skins, weather, laundry detergent and dyes, this will vary. If you love your knit but still find it too itchy, you can wear a cotton t-shirt underneath it.
Keep in mind that every wool will soften with time, with wears and washes.
Alpaca: this is known as a very soft wool, and it gets softer the more you wear it. So don’t hesitate to wear it a few times, and you’ll see how soft it will become.
Mohair: mainly known as a soft wool, some people can find its hairy elements itchy when worn directly to the skin. If this is your case, just put a cotton t-shirt underneath it.
Merino: this rustic and authentic wool is surprisingly soft. Note that the color does impact its softness: lighter colors will be softest, and some people might find darker and brighter colors a bit more itchy.
Yak: this is our softest wool. Yak is known to be as soft as cashmere, just more sustainable :)
Organic cotton: our cotton is as soft as a cloud. No allergies nor itchiness possible.
You can find all the info about washing and caring for your pieces on this page.
If your knit is shedding too many fibers, washing helps remove them. You can also use a comb, like the one we offer here.
How? Lay your pullover flat, stretch very gently and comb it from top to bottom.
Pullovers with long fibers, such as mohair, are likely to shed onto other garments. This is quite normal and is due to the length of the fiber that sheds naturally. You can use a brush to remove the hairs from your other clothing.
When wet woolen fibers are rubbed against each other, the scales on the fibers cling to each other. Detergent produces lather which encourages rubbing and results in felting.
You should limit the amount of detergent used when caring for your knitwear and fabric softeners should not be used at all.
You can also check our care guide to learn how to mend a hole in your knit, repair a button, make your own homemade detergent, or learn some natural moth repellent tips.
