How To
Care For Your Wool Scarf
Freshen Up:
Wool is naturally breathable, allowing it to release any moisture it absorbs. This means it doesn’t need to be washed as often as other fibres. Washing less not only helps extend the life of your wool but is also better for the environment. Before reaching for the washing machine, try hanging your blanket outside on a dry day for a few hours to naturally refresh and air it out.
Spot Treat:
If your wool is stained in one place, try spot treating with a bit of wool wash. Wet the spot, then gently work the wool wash in the stained area. Remove soap and dirt with a cloth that does not leave lint behind. Instead of sponges and paper towels, try soft towels or an old pillowcase. Be sure to remove all wool wash by dampening the cloth and repeating the process.
Hand Washing:
Hand washing wool is pretty straightforward, and for the most part, you just let water and wool wash do its thing. Fill your sink or bathtub with lukewarm water (30ºC or less) and add some wool wash, which is a gentle laundry detergent specially made for washing wool and delicates. Mix it in well before adding your wool to the water. Submerge your wool into the soapy water, then let it soak for at least 10 minutes.
