To care for merino wool:
1. Machine Wash: 30 Celsius, 600 Spin/min cycle & a mild detergent. Avoid biological laundry detergents & detergents containing enzymes (protease) and / or bleach.
2. Dry Flat: Lay the garment flat on a clean towel to maintain its shape.
3. Storage: Store folded; don’t hang to prevent stretching.
4. Avoid Moths: Use cedar or mothballs in storage.
5. Avoid Heat: No hot water, high-heat dryers, or direct sunlight.
6. Stains: Blot, don't rub. Consult a professional for difficult stains.
