If you’re not quite sure which size is right for you, refer to our size guides. They’re located underneath the available sizes for each of our products.

What is a pre-order and how does it work?
We work closely with small family-owned manufacturers, and to mitigate overproduction, we produce in small batches. However, this also means that if a particular piece is very popular, we may not be able to restock it before it sells out.
A pre-order allows you to purchase an item that is currently in production and will arrive at the Wolvis warehouse shortly. As soon as the pre-ordered item arrives at our warehouse, we start packing your order right away.
The good news is, by pre-ordering, you'll be among the first to receive the item once it's available!
Questions regarding shipping and delivery times of pre-ordered items can be found under the topic shipping.
What happens if I order in stock and pre-order items together?
Any order that includes a pre-order item will not ship until all items are available, unless otherwise noted.
When you’d like to receive the in stock items sooner, please contact info@wolvis.be. Please note, that there may be an additional shipping charge.
Can I cancel my order?
We completely get it, we change our minds too! So yes, you can cancel your order as long as it has not been handled by our warehouse yet.
You can find out more about the cancellation or withdrawal process here.
However, we're genuinely passionate about providing you with a great experience, and we'd be thrilled to fulfill your order. If there's anything we can do to address your concerns or improve your experience, please let us know. We're here to help!

Care & repair
Can I wash my Wolvis knit?
Yes, you can!
However, it doesn’t require frequent washing. You can easily refresh your Wolvis by letting it blow the wind for a while. If you prefer to machine wash your piece, please use the wool wash program and a mild laundry detergent. Don’t use fabric softener. Let your knit dry flat, so it retains its shape.
You can find a more in-depth article on how to provide your Wolvis with the best care in our journal.
How do I best store my Wolvis knit?
When you don’t wear your Wolvis, snuggle it around a piece of cedar wood, store it in a cotton tote bag or closed box and let it hibernate in your closet.
Why cedar wood?
Moths like merino wool just as much as you do, but they hate the smell of cedar wood.
My Wolvis knit needs a repair, what can I do?
Loose stitches or a broken thread in your beloved Wolvis? No worries, we're here to help!
Read all about it on our repair page.
Why is my Wolvis knit pilling?
Pilling is a natural characteristic of knit fabrics and can occur over time due to friction and regular wear. It happens when fibers in the knit material rub together, causing tiny balls of fiber to form on the surface.
While pilling is common, there are a few ways to minimize it:
1. Wear and Tear: Be mindful of friction caused by activities such as carrying a bag over your shoulder or repeated rubbing against rough surfaces (e.g. the velcro of your jacket or the rubber handle bars of your bike etc.).
2. Fabric Shaver: You can use a fabric shaver or a pilling comb to gently remove the pills and keep your knit looking fresh.
We take great care in selecting high-quality materials, but some degree of pilling is expected with regular use. If you have any further concerns or need advice on caring for your knitwear, please contact us. We're happy to help!
