Care Advice for Wool

Wool should be washed at low temperatures without agitation or it may shrink, stretch or felt.  Pure wool is not suitable for machine washing in a standard wash cycle and should not be tumble dried or wrung out.

To take care of your woollen item please hand wash at low temperatures (about 30C) using a gentle detergent suitable for use on wool.

Do not move the item around while washing (agitate) - just let the item soak in the water for a while.

To rinse, gently squeeze out excess water and rinse in cool water a couple of times.  Again do not agitate.

To dry, gently squeeze out excess water and reshape if needed, laying the item on a flat surface to dry so that it does not stretch out of shape.

 

Note: Because wool is breathable it does not harbour unpleasant smells so it does not need washing frequently!
