Airing

Air wool garments between wears to help release moisture and odours. Fresh outdoor air works well, or simply hang the garment in a well-ventilated space.

A garment steamer can also be used to gently release creases and refresh the fabric.

Resting & Storing

Give wool garments time to rest between wears. The natural elasticity of wool fibres helps the fabric recover and retain its shape.

Woven wool garments can be stored on a supportive, shaped hanger. Heavier knits are best stored folded to prevent stretching. For longer-term storage, keep wool garments clean, dry and protected from clothes moths.

Brushing & Pilling

Dust and surface particles can be gently removed with a natural-bristle clothing brush. Brush carefully in the direction of the fabric.

Some wool fabrics may develop small pills with wear, particularly in areas exposed to friction. These can be carefully removed with a wool comb or suitable fabric shaver.

Washing & Stains

Treat stains promptly whenever possible. Gently blot rather than rub the fabric.

When washing is needed, follow the garment’s care label. Use a wool programme with cool water and a detergent specifically formulated for wool.

Avoid detergents containing enzymes that can affect protein-based fibres such as wool.

After washing, gently reshape the garment while damp and dry flat when appropriate.

To remove creases, use a garment steamer or steam from an iron. When ironing directly, use a pressing cloth between the iron and the garment and follow the temperature indicated on the care label.
