Alpaca, mohair, silk and wool:
- With the exception of Superwash wool, we generally do not recommend machine washing as even a wool wash program can cause warping or, in the worst case, shrinkage of the item. Yarns containing silk can also become discolored.
- Hand wash at 30ºC.
- Completely dissolve the detergent before washing.
- Wash gently, do not rub too aggressively.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Gently twist the garment by placing it on a pillowcase or wrapping it in a towel and wringing it out.
- Do not use a dryer for wool, the garment will shrink.
- Do not iron or fold damp or wet clothes. Do not iron or steam block silk.
- It is best to use a steam iron for steam styling. If using a conventional iron, place a damp cloth between the soleplate and the garment.
Cotton, linen and their blends:
- Machine wash at 30ºC. Washing at the wrong temperature may cause staining. In this case, wash again at the temperature indicated on the label. Always wash at the correct temperature!
- Do not use too much fabric softener.
- Choose a program with a long rinse.
- Cotton gives shrinkage when washed, so measure the garment before washing to make sure it has taken the correct shape after washing.
- Do not dry in the washing machine.
Wool Superwash:
- Wool subjected to the superwash process can be washed in the washing machine by selecting the program for delicate fabrics.
- Do not use softeners.
Merino wool:
- Merino wool can be washed at 30ºC, select the program for delicate fabrics.
- Use a small amount of detergent for wool (no enzymes or bleaching agents).
- DO NOT use fabric conditioners (the fibers will become too soft and the garment may stretch).
- Wash separately in plenty of water.
- Do not soak in water for long periods of time.
- Do not leave wet clothes in the washing machine for long periods of time.
- Do not hang to dry, instead place the item on a flat surface.
