Wool that loves to be washed!
Here’s how to keep your sweater looking its best.
-
- Machine Wash: Turn your sweater inside out and wash in cold water with a mild detergent.
- Machine Dry: Tumble dry on a medium heat setting. You can lay the sweater flat to dry but please do not hang it to dry as this may cause it to grow longer from the weight of it while wet.
- Protect Against Moths: Machine washing clears away moth eggs that may be laying in wait to hatch and eat the wool.
- Store Safely: If you are putting your sweater away for the season, we recommend you launder it before storing in sealed plastic or in a cedar chest.
- Renew: Has your sweater stretched? Bring it back to the fit you love with a quick wash and tumble dry.
