Care and washing instructions

All the yarns are made from British pure new wool and there may be a tendency for the extra fine fibres to ball together to cause areas of ‘pilling’ if they are exposed to rough surfaces. These pills can be removed using a fine knitwear comb.

We recommend hand washing in accordance with BS984 but it must be done with care following these instructions, as heat agitation and soap can cause felting:

• Soak the item in lukewarm water using a mild wool wash product, i.e. Lakeland’s lavender wool wash.
• Squeeze suds through the fabric without rubbing, stretching or wringing
• Rinse in several changes of clean, lukewarm water
• Each time you remove the item from the water make sure you squeeze out all the excess water. The weight of water can cause stretching
• Re-shape and dry flat. Do not tumble dry as this will cause shrinkage
• Pressing can be done lightly with a cool iron
