how to care for wool

Proper care of natural wool textiles is essential to maintain their beauty, durability and comfort for many years. Caring for textiles also means caring for the environment, so always check the label before washing to find out about the specific care recommendations for a given product.

Woolen yarn products ( COLLABORATORY collection, LIKE YOUR FAVORITE SWEATER, WOOLEN WEAVE, and rugs with 30% wool ) are best washed by hand in lukewarm water with a mild detergent, avoid rubbing and soaking for a long time so that the products do not shrink and remain in their shape. Woolen rugs and throws should be dried flat so that they do not stretch under the weight of the water. To remove excess water, you can use a towel, avoiding wringing. Wool can be ironed, remembering to use low temperature. It is also advisable to use a damp cloth between the iron and the woolen knitwear to avoid damage. Since woolen yarn is susceptible to fading under the influence of sunlight, direct exposure to the sun should be avoided. Woolen items are best stored in a ventilated container, and regular airing helps to get rid of odors and keeps woolen yarn fresh for a long time.

In the case of very delicate knitwear with a high wool content ( PREMIUM COLLECTION, rugs with 80% wool ) or complex patterns, it is worth taking the textiles to a professional laundry that specializes in wool care.

The situation is slightly different when it comes to caring for boiled wool products from our collection. SIMPLY WOOL . Throws and decorative pillowcases made of natural, steamed wool require special care. Due to its noble composition, we strongly recommend dry cleaning. Proper treatment will ensure that the throw remains in great shape for a long time. Washing in water can cause the wool to lose its original appearance and become felted. It is also worth paying attention to the specificity of steamed wool. The throw is made of real wool, so during the first period of its use, the woolen hairs may fall out a little. Vacuuming or shaking the throw several times will allow you to get rid of them faster. This phenomenon is typical and natural for wool products made using steaming technology.

Taking care of wool products on a regular basis, removing pilling with a professional shaver, removing stains and following the above rules will allow you to enjoy them in great shape for a long time.
