Care Instructions
To preserve the quality and softness of your handmade wool garment, please follow these care instructions:
Hand Wash Only: Use cold water and a mild wool detergent. Gently soak the garment without rubbing or wringing.
Avoid Sudden Temperature Changes: Wool is sensitive to temperature shifts, which can cause felting or shrinkage.
Do Not Machine Wash or Tumble Dry: Even on a delicate cycle, machine washing can damage the fibers and alter the shape.
Press Out Excess Water Gently: After washing, press out water carefully with a towel without twisting the fabric.
Lay Flat to Dry: Shape the garment and dry it flat on a clean towel away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Store Properly: Fold your wool garment instead of hanging it to prevent stretching. Store in a breathable bag with natural moth repellents like lavender or cedar.
Minimal Washing Recommended: Wool has self-cleaning properties, so air out your garment between wears to reduce washing frequency.
By following these steps, your hand-knitted wool piece will maintain its beauty, softness, and durability over time.
