Caring for wool
Wool is an excellent fabric and one that can last you a long time if you take good care of it. Wool sweaters are perfect for those nippy fall days and snowy winters so you want to get the best use out of them as possible.
Caring for Your Wool Products and Blankets
To clean blankets, we recommend dry cleaning. This method best maintains blanket size, hand and appearance.
Keep your sweaters clean in between washes by lightly brushing out the dirt from the garment after every wear.
To prolong the life of your wool garment, wait 24 hours before wearing it again.
Empty pockets and remove jewelry, belts or other accessories from garments.
Caring For Wool, Cotton and Acrylic Yarns
If you can, try and hang up your wool clothes spaced a bit apart and not next to other wool. You can refresh your wool before wearing by putting it in a steamy bathroom.
Store knits gently folded in drawers.
Clean wool garments periodically but not too often to prevent premature fiber wear. Once a season is usually enough.
Caring for Organic Wool Sweaters
To preserve the shape of your clothes, refrain from wearing your woolen garments 24 hours after you last wore it.
Spot clean stains with water or spot cleansing fluid.
Hang woven wool garments on padded hangers with closures zipped or buttoned.
Guide to Wool Care
Whenever you wash, wash the item delicately and never rub it. If wool gets wet, dry the garment at room temperature away from heat.
If there’s a nap, brush with the nap.
Prior to long term storage, clean garments thoroughly. Store with fresh cedar or mothballs, crystals, or flakes.
How do you care for wool clothing?
You should never put your wool garments in the dryer because that will probably result in shrinking and maybe other damage.
Clean wool articles before placing in storage. Soiled wools are more likely to attract moths. Both dry cleaning and laundering will remove any moth eggs or larvae.
Tips - Washing and Caring for Wool Garments
Agitating wool is what causes it to shrink. Put your sweater in the washing machine but it's important when washing wool to not agitate it more than 45 seconds in the washer then let it soak for an hour or so.
Use a damp sponge to remove soil from woolen knits and finer fabrics.
