TAKE GOOD CARE OF ME WHILE I'M YOURS

Stains: stains should be removed before washing the garment. Use stain remover products meant for wool or put a mild soap mixed with a drop of water directly on the stain, mix to get foam but carefully so it doesn't felt. Leave for a little while before rinsing with water.

Wash by hand: max. 30 degrees C warm water, use mild washing detergent with a neutral PH level (7), do not use softener. In order to avoid discolouration be sure the washing detergent is properly dissolved in the water before adding the garment, squeeze gently so it doesn't felt. Wool should never be left for a long time in water. Don't leave for longer than 10-15 minutes in the soapy water, before changing the water. Change the water several times until there's no more soap left.

Machine wash: the wool program on a modern washing machine might actually be more gentle to your woollen garment than traditional hand wash. use a mild washing detergent and don't use softener. may be centrifuged on a low speed if the garment is inside a laundry wash bag .do not tumble dry

Drying: lay flat in the shape wanted. if eg. too short or narrow, the garment may now be stretched and shaped gently before it dries.

Ironing: may be steamed or ironed gently with a light towel in between the garment and the iron.

Pilling: pilling happens when short fibers separates from the yarn. This will decrease over time. Carefully use a new safety razor or a fabric shaver/lint remover to shave the garment when laying on a flat surface.
