Product Care

To care for your handcrafted wool or garment, there is usually no need to wash it, just let it dry naturally if it gets wet or even sweaty. Agitation of the fibres causes wool to felt. So if you do wash it, no rubbing — or too much squeezing. Rapid change from hot to cold water can felt the wool as well: gently hand wash in tepid water and a non-enzyme soap, soak first if needed. Gently rinse in tepid water. Wrap the item in a towel and squeeze water out (don't twist!), then flat dry.
