Wash Care Instructions for Merino Wool Due to merino wool's natural antimicrobial properties, your garments won't need frequent washing. We recommend rinsing with cool water and spot cleaning stains. Refresh between washes by gently steaming. Hand wash with mild detergent, wool wash, or baby shampoo. Lay flat to dry on a towel to maintain the shape. Use a gentle iron with slow steam for finishing. To refresh your knitwear between wears and neutralise odours, use a steam iron to keep the knit looking fresh. Steam ironing reduces the need for frequent washing, making merino wool ideal for travel. Do not tumble dry, as merino wool will shrink in the dryer. Why Hand Wash Only? Machine-washable merino is often treated with synthetic chemicals, which degrade over time, leading to pilling and loss of shape. Hand washing helps preserve the wool's natural integrity, ensuring longer-lasting, environmentally friendly wear. Colour: blue
