We have created a garment care guide to ensure your knitwear provides many years
of warmth and wear.
Wool is naturally antibacterial and odour resistant and therefore does not need to
be washed very often. We recommend airing garments on a drying rack to air, this
can work very well.

REMOVING STAINS

To remove dry stains and fluff, we recommend a lint roller which lifts dirt out of the
fibres.
For wet stains, immediately dab the stain with a damp cloth to lift the stain out of
the woollen fibres. Try to avoid washing the whole garment. Stubborn staines can
be removed naturally by making a solution of lemon juice and a small spoon of
baking soda mixed together. This can then be applied to the stain, then dabbed off
with a damp cloth to lift the stain out. Do not rub the stain as this could damage
the wool fibres.

WASHING + DRYING

Gently hand wash garments in cool water using a specialist wool washing liquid.
We do not recommend machine washing or tumble drying, this will shrink the
garment.
Gently press out excess water, do not wring, then place the garment between a
folded towel and press to soak up more water.
To dry, place your knitwear flat on a towel on a clothes airer. Once dry, gently
shape using a steam iron, hovering the iron just above the garment so it does not
come in contact with the fibres.
We do not recommend machine washing, tumble drying or hanging woollen
garments on a radiator, this may cause shrinkage. Avoid fabric softeners too, as
these coat the fibres and make them less breathable.

STORAGE

Gently fold freshly washed or aired garments and store in drawers away from
direct sunlight. Make sure your woollens and drawers are clean before storing,
moths love food stains and dust. Closed cotton bags or a pillow cases are ideal to
protect garments from moths, along with lavender bags and cedar wood balls.
Avoid plastic to allow fibres to breathe.
