Washing instructions

Wool is a great material for clothing because it is antibacterial and odor-resistant. Therefore, wool clothing does not need to be washed often. Hang the garment outside occasionally to freshen it up. If you do want to wash the garment, we recommend Texelana Wool Detergent. When hand washing, never rub hard to prevent felting. Always check the label in the garment for washing instructions. Always dry wool clothing flat.

If you treat your wool garment this way, it will not only stay looking better and last longer. By airing instead of washing, you also protect the environment.

Storing wool clothing

We recommend storing your wool clothing clean, possibly with a sachet of lavender; this keeps moths away. It's also best to store wool clothing flat, so that the elasticity of the wool is not affected.

Pilling and fuzz

Wool can pill or fuzz with use. This has nothing to do with the quality of the wool. Pilling is a natural phenomenon that mainly occurs due to friction. Wool consists of many hairs with a natural crimp (curls). Friction can cause the wool to pill and felt. When felting, the hairs join together due to friction. In fact, every movement causes friction. You will often find fuzz/pills on the sleeves and under the armpits.

With new clothing, there may sometimes be some loose hairs left over after the weaving and knitting process.

Unfortunately, pilling and fuzz on your beautiful (merino) wool clothing cannot be prevented. We have some tips to delay this process somewhat and how to remove fuzz and pills. For this information, we gladly refer you to our blog.
