HOW TO WASH

Wool should be washed by hand unless you have a washing machine that uses lukewarm water (below 28Celsius) and has a very gentle wool cycle.

To avoid felting, please observe the following:
Use very little soap and use a woolmark approved detergent. Be careful to keep the same temperatureduring the entire washing and rinsing process (not above 28Celsius). After washing and rinsing place the garment in a washing bag and spin it lightly in a washing machine. Then place the garment flat on towel and leave to dry.

Woolen garments do not necessarily need washing very often. Airing outside in damp weather will often be sufficient. Yarns from cotton and yarns made from mixed fibres containing flax and bamboo could be washed in warm water, but still we recommend the same washing instructions as for wool.

HOW TO STORE

Always store yarn and knitwear in a plastic bag or densely woven cotton bag.
