Wool and silk
General advice: Wool felts (shrinks) by putting it through motion in warm water. Therefore do not wring it or rub it together but only pivot it lightly.
- Hand wash by 30°C with wool detergent or shampoo
- Rinse with the same temperature while also maintaining it
- Add 2 tablespoons of household vinegar to the last rinse water (It keeps the colours fresh and helps neutralizing possible leftovers from the soap)
- Squeeze gently (no wringing)
- While still wet pull it into form and hang it up to dry or just lay it down flat (don’t use a dryer)
- Ironing is not necessary but you can if you use low temperature and a wet piece of cloth
