Wool Sweater

Your best friend for the colder days of the year and really low-maintenance – a woollen sweater indeed is a real wardrobe treasure. As wool has natural self-cleaning properties, you don’t have to wash it often. Most of the time, airing is the best way to take care of wool knitwear. And if there is a stain, try to spot clean carefully with a damp cloth before washing.


WASH & DRY
If your wool sweater needs a wash, the best option is to choose the wool or delicate cycle at a low temperature. You can also hand wash in lukewarm water. Always remember: avoid rubbing and wringing as it damages the structure of the fibres. The key to fluffy wool is a special detergent for delicate materials, which is based on an innovative oat formula. Also remember that wool doesn’t like to be tumble dried. Instead, air dry flat on a large towel and carefully pull into shape.

STORE & MAINTAIN
Pilling is a natural process and occurs with all untreated wool fibres. So it’s not a sign of bad quality, the tiny fibre balls are simply caused by friction. You can easily remove them with a special comb or a fabric razor. The good news: over time, pilling will decrease.

Always fold your knitwear and store lying flat as it might lose its shape when stored on a hanger. Make sure to clean your woollen garments before packing them away for a longer time and add some cedar balls or dried lavender sachets to keep moths away.
