Cleaning & Everyday Care
Wool can naturally resist odors, meaning frequent washing is rarely necessary.
Refresh garments by airing them after wear in a well-ventilated space.
Always follow the care label. Most tailored wool garments should be professionally dry cleaned, while some knitwear may be suitable for gentle hand washing or a wool cycle using a detergent specifically formulated for wool.
Avoid regular washing, as excessive laundering can affect the fibres and appearance over time.
Treat stains promptly by gently blotting with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid rubbing, which may damage the fibres or cause felting.
Drying & Shape Care
Never wring or twist wet wool garments, as this may distort their shape.
After washing, gently press out excess water using a clean towel and lay the garment flat to dry on a drying rack, reshaping it while damp.
Avoid tumble drying or placing wool near radiators, direct sunlight, or other heat sources, as excessive heat may cause shrinkage or damage the fibres.
For tailored garments, allow them to rest between wears to help the fibres naturally recover their shape.
Storage & Shape Maintenance
Store wool garments clean and completely dry in a cool, dry, well-ventilated environment.
Tailored jackets and coats should be hung on wide, structured hangers to support their shape.
Knitwear should be folded rather than hung to prevent stretching.
When storing garments for longer periods, use breathable garment bags and consider natural moth protection such as cedar wood or lavender sachets. Avoid storing wool in airtight plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
Maintaining Natural Beauty
Wool fibres naturally recover from creasing. Minor wrinkles can often be released by hanging the garment in a steamy bathroom or using a garment steamer.
Occasional pilling is a natural characteristic of premium wool, particularly in areas of friction. Carefully remove pills using a fabric comb or wool shaver designed for delicate fibres.
Brush tailored garments occasionally with a soft clothing brush to remove surface dust and maintain the fabric's appearance.
Always follow the garment's care label for fibre-specific recommendations, particularly for wool blends or garments containing delicate fibres such as cashmere, mohair, or alpaca.
By following these care steps, you can help maintain comfort, structure and appearance over time.
