Washing & Care for wool fleece:
- No washing is required before first use
- Wool neutralizes odors and often airing is enough to keep wool clothes fresh
-
Wash wool fleece products with 30°C wool or hand wash setting, with a max spin speed of 800 rpm, using a biodegradable wool washing detergent
-
We recommend the Sonett wool and silk washing liquid for washing and Sonett gall soap for stain removal
-
Fleece is brushed wool knit and can shrink slightly in the first wash: smoothing the item back into shape after washing is very important
- Our wool products have not been treated with moth-proofing chemicals, so please protect the wool product from moths and other insects. Store wool products in a tight plastic bag when they are not in regular use. How to protect woollen clothes from pests
