Washing instructions

Wool is an excellent 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 lay wool clothing flat to dry.

If you treat your wool garment this way, it will not only stay beautiful longer 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 at bay. It is also best to store wool clothing flat so that the elasticity of the wool is not affected.

Pilling and lint

Wool can pill or lint 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 lint/pills on the sleeves and under the armpits.

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

Pilling and lint on your beautiful (merino) wool clothing are unfortunately unavoidable. We have some tips to somewhat delay this process and how to remove lint and pills. For this information, please refer to our blog.
