Taking care of a wool sweater is essential to maintain its shape, softness, and longevity. Here are some practical tips:

1. Washing

• Read the Label: Always check the care label for specific washing instructions.
• Hand Wash:
  • Fill a sink or basin with cold water.
  • Add a small amount of wool-friendly detergent (e.g., Woolite).
  • Gently swish the sweater in the water without wringing or scrubbing.
  • Let it soak for about 10–15 minutes.

2. Drying

• Avoid Wringing: Squeeze out excess water gently.
• Reshape and Dry Flat:
  • Lay the sweater on a clean towel.
  • Roll the towel with the sweater inside to remove extra moisture.
  • Lay the sweater flat on a drying rack or another towel, reshaping it to its original size and dimensions.
• Avoid Hanging: Hanging can stretch and distort the shape of the sweater.

3. Storing

• Fold Instead of Hanging: Fold wool sweaters to avoid stretching.
• Use Cedar or Lavender: Keep moths away by storing sweaters with natural repellents like cedar blocks or lavender sachets.
• Avoid Plastic: Use breathable fabric bags for storage if needed.

4. Removing Pills

• Use a sweater comb, fabric shaver, or lint remover to gently remove pilling without damaging the fibres.

5. Handling Stains

• Treat stains immediately with cold water and a small amount of wool detergent. Avoid using hot water as it can set the stain.

6. General Tips

• Air Out After Wearing: Allow the sweater to air out to release odours and moisture before storing it.
• Avoid Excessive Washing: Wool is naturally odour-resistant, so it doesn’t need to be washed after every wear.
• Prevent Heat Exposure: Avoid placing the sweater in direct sunlight, near heaters, or in a dryer.

With these steps, your wool sweater will remain soft, cosy, and looking great for years!
