Natural Merino Wool Care
Wash untreated wool as seldom as possible.
Hang your wool outdoors to air it out.
When you want to wash your wool clothing if air-drying is not enough:
- Place the wool in lukewarm water with hair shampoo or Lanolin soap – it softens the water and does not degrease the wool.
- Let the wool soak in water for 5-10 minutes and stir carefully. Do not make heavy stirring or agitating with the wool as it would make your wool stiff.
- Rinse in lukewarm water (NEVER use cold water because it can shock the wool fibers, resulting in shrinkage of the wool)
- Roll your wool item into a towel, pressing out the excess water. Give the wool a quick, brisk shake.
- Lay it to dry over a mild heat source.
