- Wool comes from sheep and goats.
- The process of producing wool fabric starts with shearing the sheep, after which impurities are removed. Wool is then separated into different quality classes based on fiber diameter, length and color.
- Wool regulates body temperature and is breathable.
- The fabric is biodegradable, and it comes from a renewable source.
- Wool is often seen as the technical fabric of nature because it also absorbs moisture without feeling wet or cold, is antibacterial and has odor-fighting properties.
- The natural crimps of wool allow the fabric to maintain its shape well and endure stretching.
- Wool is resistant to static electricity, hypoallergenic and fire-resistant.
Wool doesn’t need to be washed often because it’s naturally stain, odour and crease resistant. 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. Handwashing is preferable.
If you prefer, you can also wash wool on a delicate or wool wash program. 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 fibers like wool. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as they can damage the fabric.
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.
