hoW to care for: Wool

Everything in our collection is crafted with longevity in mind. Here we share tips on how to make your pieces last as long as they were designed to.
- Merino wool doesn’t require washing after every wear as the fibres are naturally antibacterial and odour resistant.
- Machine wash according to care instructions on low spin using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softener which coats the fibres and makes them less breathable.
- Hang merino wool to air dry and reshape while damp. The heat from tumble driers can cause fibres to shrink. Use a pilling comb or fabric shaver to retain the fabric’s softness. .
- Help reverse signs of shrinking from older merino wool garments by soaking them in warm water with conditioner, drying and then repeating the process.
