Always wash wool by hand in mild soap. Begin with a soak -- three to five minutes for lightly soiled articles, longer for more soil. Squeeze out the soapy water by pressing the article against the bowl after draining out the soapy water. Never wring or scrunch wool to remove water: this agitates the fibres and causes them to shrink.

Rinse twice to remove the soap, taking care to push water through the article, again squeezing out excess water by pushing it against the drained bowl.

Roll the article in towels to remove excess water and air dry on a flat web, after pushing the article back into its basic shape.

What are the care instructions for wool?

Some types of wool must be dry cleaned, for example, most blazers made of wool. There should be labels in garments and products like blankets, indicating method of care. Some wool, can be gently hand washed with mild detergent/soap made especially for wool so it doesn't stip the wool of natural softness. Wool should be air dried, as it will shrink if in heated dryer. Protect wool from chewing insects, and ensure wool is cleaned prior to storage.
