Wool

What to do: 

• Gently press out excess water — never wring 
• Lay flat between two dry and clean towels, roll and squeeze gently to remove excess water 
• Reshape the garment while it’s damp 
• Let it air dry flat on a grill, allowing it to dry and breathe, away from direct heat or sunlight  

What to avoid: 

• Hanging, which can stretch the fibers 
• Tumble drying, which can shrink or damage the wool 
• Drying near radiators or in direct sun, which can cause fading or warping

What to do: 

• Use a steam iron on the wool or low heat setting 
• Always iron on the reverse side or place a thin cloth (like a pressing cloth or clean cotton towel) between the iron and the garment 
• Use gentle pressure — let the steam do the work 
• Steam while the item is still slightly damp, if possible 
• Hang or lay flat to finish drying after ironing 

What to avoid: 

• Direct contact between hot iron and wool, which can leave shiny marks 
• High heat, which can scorch or flatten the texture 
• Over-ironing, especially on delicate knits or loosely woven wool 

• Make sure your wool item is completely dry before storing, to avoid attracting moths
• Preferably store flat, in a dry place, away from direct heat and sunlight
• Additionally, you can use a breathable knit storage bag
• If you do want to hang your wool item, use rubber hangers or hangers with rubber ends to avoid the item slipping off

• Food stains: Blot immediately with a clean cloth. Dab with cold water and a small amount of wool detergent. Rinse gently and air dry.  
• Grease or oil stains: We recommend using Terre de Sommières, a natural, ultra-fine powdered clay from France known for its exceptional ability to absorb grease and oil stains from dry surfaces.  
• Mud or dirt: Let it dry completely, then gently brush off the dried residue. If needed, spot-clean with a damp cloth and wool detergent.  
• Sweat or deodorant marks: Dab with a mix of cold water and a splash of white vinegar. Rinse gently and lay flat to dry.  
• Ink: Dab (don’t rub) with a cloth dipped in rubbing alcohol or vinegar. Test on an inside seam first to avoid color damage.  

With wear, you might see the appearance of small pills or bobbles. These usually occur through friction, so you’ll find them under the arms, at the lower back and other areas that are exposed to friction. We advise you to de-pill your wool item with a simple knitwear comb. Do not use a razor or other sharp objects.

A few tips: 

• Before storing a wool item, make sure it’s 100% clean and dry. Food residues and skin cells attract moths. 
• Fold your wool item neatly, and if possible, use a zip-up storage bag.   
• Use scented essential oils or cedar wood to repel moths and protect your clothes; moths dislike the smell.  
• If you think you have clothes moths, make sure you vacuum and treat any storage area before you put clothes away.
