Grey Sheep Small Wool Blanket

Cold Machine Wash

When washing a wool product in an automatic washing machine please use the delicate programmes with a slow spin cycle – cold wash, wool wash, hand wash, no more than 30 degrees – and wash on its own (1 throw per wash), not with any other items. Please do not use a powder detergent, just a wool-friendly liquid detergent. You could also use special wool fabric softeners, but only a very small amount and rinse your throw thoroughly afterwards as leaving some of the softener in the item could cause stains, unpleasant odour or provoke allergies.

Drying Wool

Do not tumble dry your wool product. Instead we advise you to lay it flat to dry. When you take the item out of the machine, or have finished hand washing, it will be quite wet so gently squeeze out any excess water (do not wring!). Lay it down on top of a cotton towel on a flat surface, smoothing out any wrinkles (if it is a large item then fold it carefully to a quarter of the size). It is essential that the item is placed on top of an absorbent material, such as a towel, as the moisture from the wool will be absorbed downwards. Change the towel underneath regularly until the wool is completely dry (if the weather is nice this can be done outside but remember to keep it out of direct sunlight). Do not shake or hang a wet wool product as this could cause damage.

Dry Cleaning Wool

If you are not confident to wash wool yourself then we advise you to use a dry-cleaning service.
