Wool is a marvellous material, a locally available and native abundant renewable resource. Its properties have been respected and utilised by mankind for eons

Extra care should be taken when washing your woolen goods. Here are the key steps:

Only wash when necessary. Airing or spot cleaning is often enough to freshen up

When an item requires washing best method is:

• Use water, maximum temperature 30°C however we always wash cool

• Wash with a gentle detergent suitable for wool (ie. Ecover Wool & Silk Laundry Liquid)

• Handwash only using a gentle action to avoid shrinkage and felting. Do not rub or wring and avoid extremes of temperature

• After rinsing, lay flat in a clean towel and roll then ease into shape and dry naturally

• Do not tumble dry

• If you wish your scarf can be steam ironed on a low to medium setting
