Wool is antibacterial and odor-resistant. Therefore, woolen clothing does not need to be washed frequently. Hang the garment outside occasionally to air it out, and it will quickly freshen up. If you do want to wash the garment, we recommend Texelana Wool Detergent. Always check the label inside the garment for washing instructions and always let woolen clothing dry flat. When hand washing, never rub hard to prevent felting.

If you treat your woolen garment as described above, it will not only stay looking better and last longer; you will also save the environment by airing it out instead of washing it.

Storing woolen clothing

We recommend storing your woolen clothing clean, possibly with a sachet of lavender; this keeps moths at bay. It is also best to store woolen 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). Due to friction, the wool can pill and felt. When felting, the hairs join together due to friction. In fact, every movement causes friction. You will therefore often find the fuzz/pills on the sleeves and under the armpits.

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

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