How to Care for 100% Merino Wool

Merino wool is a delicate fabric that requires gentle care to avoid shrinking, felting, or damage.

Washing:

  • Hand wash in cold, or use the wool/delicate cycle on a washing machine.
  • Use a mild, wool-friendly detergent (no harsh chemicals or bleach).
  • Avoid agitation to prevent felting. Gently swirl or soak instead.
  • Do not wring the fabric; squeeze gently to remove excess water.

Drying:

  • Lay flat to dry on a clean towel, reshaping the garment while damp to avoid stretching or misshaping.
  • Avoid direct sunlight and never use a tumble dryer or hang it, as wool is prone to stretching when wet.
  • Steam to remove wrinkles if needed, but avoid ironing directly on the fabric.
