Product Care

Tender hand wash is possible for small items (beanie, scarf, cowl). Cool water, no agitation, lay flat to dry.

Specialized dry cleaning once a season is recommended for big pieces (sweater, blanket).

Washing machine is also possible (using cold water only, delicate/wool cycle, without agitation, air dry only). But note that washing in a machine will make yarn thinner, harder to touch, some softness will be lost.
