Care Instructions

Hand wash recommended. Alternatively, use a very gentle wool cycle with lukewarm water below 28°C. Use a small amount of wool-approved detergent and keep the water temperature consistent during washing and rinsing. Avoid felting by handling gently. Spin lightly in a washing bag, then lay flat on a towel to dry. Airing outdoors in damp weather may be sufficient between washes.
