washing instructions

Wool is easy to care for. Because wool is naturally water repellent to protect the sheep’s delicate skin, liquids cannot easily penetrate the fibers and can be wiped clean without needing to be washed after every use.

It is also nearly wrinkle resistant so it is always ready to be worn.  

Washing Instructions

To wash add 1 tsp of gentle soap (like Ivory soap, for example) per gallon of clean, tepid water. Let garment soak for ten minutes. Gently squeeze suds through the fabric taking care not to felt the wool. Rinse thoroughly in tepid water. Roll garment in a towel to remove excess water. Reshape and dry flat out of direct sun or heat.

Diaper Covers

One of the wonderful benefits of wool diaper covers is that they do not need to be washed after each use. An unstained cover can be used at least six to eight times between washes. A soiled diaper cover should be washed immediately to prevent a stain from setting. In between, simply leave the cover to dry. You can also brush your wool diaper cover with a lint brush to freshen it.

Clothing

You should only need to wash your wool sweaters once a season unless they get soiled. Soiled clothing should be washed immediately to prevent stains from setting. In between washing, simply brush your wool garment with a lint brush to freshen it.
