Incorrect laundering is the ruin of many garments. To make sure the years of enjoyment from a knitwear, you should underline how important it is that you wash garments correctly. Wool garments have to be washed carefully by hand at low temperatures, otherwise they can shrink or felt. Use detergents specially made for wool. Also use plenty of water and wash the garments inside out. Squeeze the garments gently. Do not rub or wring. Remember the garments must not soak for to long in the water. Rinse them and gently squeeze out as much water as possible. Stretch the garments out or shake them into shape before drying flat. Do not hang. Heavy garments should be spread out on clean towels to dry. Garments made of wool should not be dried in direct sunlight. Store knit wool garments by folding them rather than hanging them.
