Why Jersey Needs Gentle Care
Your Ultra Soft Jersey Short PJ Set from HATCH Collection is made from an ultra-soft jersey fabric designed for comfort before, during, and after pregnancy. Jersey knits are naturally delicate because of their looped construction, which gives them that soft, stretchy feel but also makes them prone to snagging or pilling if handled roughly. With the right washing routine, you can keep your pajama set feeling as soft as the day you bought it.
Washing Your Jersey Sleep Set
To protect the fabric, turn your pajama set inside out before washing. This reduces friction on the outer surface, which is the main cause of pilling. Use a gentle cycle with cold water — hot water can break down the jersey fibers over time and cause shrinkage. A mild liquid detergent works well; avoid fabric softeners or bleach, as these can coat the fibers and reduce softness. If you're washing with other items, choose lightweight, non-abrasive pieces like other knits or cotton tees.

Drying and Storage Tips
Skip the dryer when possible. High heat can shrink jersey fabric and cause the fibers to stiffen. Instead, lay the set flat on a clean towel or hang it to dry away from direct sunlight. If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting and remove the pajamas while they're still slightly damp to minimize wear. For storage, fold the set rather than hanging it — hanging can stretch out the jersey knit over time, especially the shorts.
What About Pilling?
Pilling is a natural result of friction on soft jersey fabrics, not a sign of poor quality. To reduce it, wash your pajama set on a gentle cycle and avoid overloading the machine. If pills do appear, you can gently remove them with a fabric shaver designed for knits. Just be careful not to press too hard, as jersey can snag easily.
