WASH

It is best to hand wash in cold or lukewarm water (max. 20°C). Use a small amount of wool detergent - be careful, too much or an unsuitable detergent can cause the material to felt!

Your garment should be washed gently and not soaked for more than a few minutes. When rinsing, make sure the item is not twisted.

Machine washing is possible as long as the wash label indicates this - it is important that you follow the instructions on the label. We recommend that you ensure your washing machine has a special wool program with gentle spinning (400 rpm) and use this.

Also, make sure you do not overload the washing machine, as this increases friction and can damage the material.

Avoid using fabric softener, as it promotes felting of the material and, contrary to the actual benefit of fabric softener, can impair the softness of the wool.

DRY

Do not use the washing machine's spin cycle and avoid the dryer at all costs.

Allow a towel to absorb excess water by gently rolling the garment in it without twisting. Never wring out your knitted garments, as this can lead to severe distortion and stretching.

We recommend drying the garment flat on a towel on a flat surface (table, bed, etc.).
Don't forget to fold up the sleeves so they don't stretch out.

Avoid pulling the garment too much. Simply shape it as you want it to be after drying, because the shape given before drying will be retained after drying.

IRONING

Ironing is not necessary if the item has been washed and dried correctly.

If you still need to iron your garment, please observe the following precautions:
- Gently steam iron from the reverse side only
- Do not squeeze or press the garment
- Do not pull on the garment while ironing to avoid stretching

CARE

We recommend folding your garments and storing them flat. To prevent them from losing their shape, you should not hang your knitwear on hangers.

It is completely normal for pilling to occur over time due to daily friction. If this bothers you, you can (very carefully) use a fabric shaver or comb. You can find more information on this below.

To protect your wool clothing from moths, we recommend placing a few cedar balls in your wardrobe. Furthermore, you should avoid leaving your wool items in the cupboard for years.

It is best to store your clothes in a dry and ventilated place and air them out before putting them away.

WASH

OPTION 1: Hand Wash
Hand washing should be done with cold or lukewarm water (max. 20°). Your garment should be washed gently and not soaked for more than a few minutes. When rinsing, be careful not to twist the item. Do not leave it to soak for more than a few minutes to avoid felting.

OPTION 2: Washing Machine 
If the garment label indicates machine wash, make sure to use a hand wash or delicate cycle, and preferably a cold wash.

Wash your garment with other items to prevent it from being damaged by the machine drum. We also recommend using a laundry bag, such as the Guppyfriend one.

DRY

Do not use the spin cycle of the washing machine and avoid the dryer under all circumstances.

Allow a towel to absorb excess water by gently rolling the garment in it without twisting it. Never wring out your knitted garments, as this can lead to severe deformation and stretching.

We recommend drying the garment flat on a towel and on a flat surface (table, bed, etc.).
Don't forget to fold up the sleeves so they don't stretch out.

Avoid pulling the garment too much. Simply shape it as you want it to be after drying, because the shape given before drying will be retained after drying.

IRONING & CARE

- Do not pull on the garment while ironing to avoid stretching

CARE
We recommend folding your garments and storing them flat. To prevent them from losing their shape, you should not hang your knitwear on hangers.

It is best to store your clothes in a dry and well-ventilated place and air them out before putting them away.

OPTION 1: Hand washing
Hand washing is done with cold or lukewarm water (max. 20°). Your garment should be washed gently and not soaked for more than a few minutes. When rinsing, make sure the item is not twisted. Do not soak it for more than a few minutes to avoid felting.

OPTION 2: Washing machine
If machine washing is indicated on the garment label, make sure to use a hand wash or delicate cycle, preferably a cold wash.

Always wash your garment with other items to avoid damage from the machine drum. We also recommend using a laundry net to protect the fabric surface.

DRYING & IRONING

DRYING
It is best to dry your woven garments on a hanger instead of using a dryer. This way, the garments retain their shape and fewer wrinkles occur. Before hanging, shake them out vigorously to smooth the surface a little beforehand and reduce wrinkles.

IRONING
Always follow the instructions on the care labels when ironing. Always be careful when ironing. Since the required settings vary depending on the material, adjust the iron as indicated on the label. This way, the garment retains its original shape and size.

TIPS ON PILLING

Pilling is caused by natural friction and excess fibers, and it occurs especially with new and high-quality knitwear. This is a completely normal, material-related process.

We recommend hand-washing your knitwear after two to three wears with a small amount of special wool detergent. Please refrain from using fabric softener, as it can damage delicate natural fibers.

To dry, it's best to lay your wool items flat on a towel. This will preserve their shape and quality. Avoid drying clothes in the sun, as direct heat and UV radiation can affect the fibers and cause colors to fade.

Pilling will decrease on its own over time. If it still bothers you, you can carefully remove the pills with a fabric shaver. Lay the knitwear flat, gently smooth the material, and work carefully from top to bottom. Please note that excessive use can alter or even damage the surface and feel of the material.

With knitwear made from particularly long fibers, such as alpaca, it can happen that individual fibers are left on other garments or surfaces. This is a typical characteristic of these materials. A clothes brush or lint roller can easily and gently remove the fibers.

STAIN REMOVAL

Stains should first be gently blotted with a cloth, or depending on the stain, with a cleaning agent. It is best to place a terry towel under the stained garment to absorb excess liquid during stain removal. Animal fibers are water-repellent, which means that in some cases, dabbing alone is sufficient.

The second step is to carefully wash out the stain with warm water. Lather stains as soon as possible, gently scrub them off, and wash your garment as quickly as possible.

For grease stains, it is recommended to use dish soap, as it dissolves grease more effectively. However, make sure to use a transparent dish soap to avoid discoloring the garment.

RADIANT WHITE

To keep your white laundry radiating for as long as possible, it is important to wash it separately. It is also advisable to avoid fabric softener, as this can lead to a gray film.

For a slight gray tinge, baking soda or washing soda can help. For yellow stains, citric acid or vinegar often prove useful.

Drying in the sun can also have a bleaching effect, but this can also damage the fibers.
