Dry Clean Only
We are going to re-emphasize here: Whenever possible, spot cleaning is recommend. When dry cleaning, it is best to confirm with your service provider that they are experienced with wool products. Should you choose to hand wash your items, please adhere to our guide below. Hand wash does not mean the Gentle or Hand Wash cycle in a washing machine, as the agitation can cause the fibers to interlock and shrink.

Combine cool water and gentle detergent, completely submerge item in the water, pressing down to ensure any air bubbles are out. Soak for at least 1/2 an hour.
Rinse well until the water runs clear and there are no traces of soap.
Before drying, press as much water out as possible, do not wring as you can stretch the fibers by the weight of the water.

Baa-d Ideas
Do not bleach.
Iron on low, only if necessary
If the wrong temperatures, products, or handling of the items are used, significant shrinkage and a change in texture could occur.
Dry cleaning any item too often can shorten it’s lifespan.

Cotton Products
Like our wool products, our suggested method to care for your items is hand washing and air drying. However, all our cotton items are machine washable and can also be put into your dryer. Be sure that the item remains separate throughout the process to allow for optimal movement.

Simple Solutions
Wrinkles
If a blanket, throw, or scarf wrinkles you can simply hang it for a day and wrinkles will smooth out, usually within 24 hours. For deeper creases, woolens can also be steamed using a garment steamer or hung in a high-humidity environment like a steamy bathroom--allow time to dry.
Pulling & Snags
Although wool is very durable, some products that are lighter weight with a more open weave can be susceptible to snags. Avoid jewelry or zippers that could get caught in a yarn and cause a snag. Pet nails can also cause unwanted snags.
Moth Prevention
If you will not be using your woolens for an extended period of time, it’s best to brush them clean – or, if soiled, clean them following the instructions above, and store them in airtight container in a low temperature, low humidity environment. You might also choose to add moth repellents with natural essential oils, such as Lavendar, Cedarwood, or Rosemary. While stored, routinely inspect the item, paying special attention to corners, folds, or other crevices ensuring no moth eggs are present.
Pilling
Pilling is a natural occurrence with wool and it is impossible to guarentee it won’t occur (among all fibers, not just wool). Pills are caused by fibers becoming intertwined on the surface as a result of wear or abrasion, even with gentle use. The finer the wool, the more susceptible it is to pilling. The most effective way to remove pills is by using a lint brush or nylon-bristled garment brush and going along the length of the item in the same direction. Additionally, the use of fabric softeners that were not designed for wool can improve the likelihood of pilling.
