Recycled Wool Care

Recycled wool doesn't need to be washed often. To reduce washes, you can air your garment out, steam, hang it up while showering, use a delicate fabric refreshing spray or brush it. Spot clean stains immediately when they appear, because stains can be hard to get off after a while. Hand washing is preferable. If you prefer, you can also wash on a delicate or wool wash programme at 30°C. To protect the surface of the fabric, use a washing bag and turn the garment inside out. Use enzyme-free, pH-neutral laundry detergent. Enzymes in regular detergents break down protein-based fibres like wool. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as they can damage the fabric. Do not tumble dry.

Dry your knitted wool flat; it might stretch if hung. Knits should be stored folded, as hanging knitwear can change the shape. Put cedar wood or lavender in your drawers and make sure your knitwear is clean when you store it to avoid moths.
