Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cool to lukewarm water

Use a mild detergent specifically for wool

Lay flat to dry on a horizontal surface

Do not wring, twist, or agitate

Steam lightly at low temperature if necessary

Swatching Required

A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. Merino wool blooms beautifully after washing, creating softer fabric with improved drape. The slub texture affects gauge significantly, so accurate swatching ensures proper fit and yardage estimates.
