First, it's worth noting that merino wool garments don't need frequent washing.

After each wear, simply air them for 24–48 hours by an open window or, even better if possible, hang them outside. Wool retains its natural quality—when exposed to fresh air, it naturally refreshes itself.

Washing

Before washing, turn your garment inside out.

Machine washing

Wash your wool garments at a low temperature: 30 °C maximum.

Our wool is superwash-treated, meaning it has undergone an anti-shrink treatment that prevents felting during washing. It can therefore be machine-washed at 30 °C without shrinking.

Select a delicate program if your washing machine has a "wool" or "delicates" cycle.

We recommend a high spin speed (over 1000 rpm), which holds the garment flat against the drum walls. Water is efficiently extracted, the garment stays still, and suffers no impact. If you spin a wool garment at a slow speed (400 to 600 rpm), the garment, weighed down by water, will tumble inside the drum. This is when it risks felting and pilling.

Using a mesh laundry bag or a pillowcase is recommended, as it prevents friction with other garments. This will help you avoid fluff and pilling.

If you don't have a mesh bag, you can use a pillowcase. Simply slip each garment into a pillowcase.

Hand washing

Dilute detergent or a gentle shampoo in barely lukewarm water. Submerge the knit and press it gently without wringing—be careful not to "knead" it, as this can damage the fibres.

Rinse several times in water at the same temperature, adding a little fabric softener to the final rinse.

Drying

To dry, press the garment without wringing and lay it flat on a towel to absorb as much water as possible. Cover it with a second towel, roll the whole thing up and press again, then unroll and lay the garment flat on a towel to restore its original shape.

To dry your merino wool garment properly:

• Do not use a tumble dryer, as your garment may shrink, become thicker, lose its stretch and become less comfortable to wear;
• Avoid drying your merino wool on a hanger: it may stretch and lose its shape over time;
• Dry your wet wool away from direct heat: avoid sunlight and radiators.

Ironing

Using an iron is absolutely unnecessary: merino wool is a natural fibre whose main qualities include the ability to smooth itself out against the skin.

Turn the garment inside out and place a damp cloth over it to avoid burning the wool fibres. Use a low iron setting.
