How do I care for this yarn?
Machine wash on gentle cycle 40°C / Don’t use fabric softener / Dry Flat
First of all, consider just airing the garment, instead of washing it. If you still desire to wash it, here are some guidelines:
- Machine wash superwash treated wool - separately - using a wool/gentle cycle program at 40ºC with a light centrifugation (about 800rpm), and wool detergent without enzymes or optical brighteners.
- Don’t use fabric softener with superwash treated yarn.
- NEVER leave the garment to soak/wet in the washing machine for a long period of time.
- To dry the garment, shape it and lay it flat - do not hang - ideally on a warm bathroom floor or on top of a drying rack in a room with good air circulation. Never dry the garment in direct sunlight.
- Don’t tumble dry.
- Never iron the garment directly. Use always a damp cloth between your steaming iron or regular iron and the garment.
Note: If you are washing a project made with this yarn combined with another, the general guideline is to follow the washing instructions for the most delicate of the yarns you are working with.
