1.     KEEP IT COLD

It’s important to hand wash all of your knitwear pieces in cold water. This makes sure your pieces retain its beautiful natural shape (no shrinking allowed here!)
 


2.       ALL-NATURAL DETERGENT

Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and stain removers. Instead, opt for an eco-friendly wool wash to prevent wear and tear over the course of the years.

3.     LAY TO DRY

It’s really important that after washing your items with the wool detergent that you turn them inside out and lay them flat to dry. Hanging them while they’re wet will cause it to stretch.

Afterwards, you can also iron your pieces to keep them in pristine condition, before folding them away for storage
