Our informal instructions

As we like to say: "Airing is caring". Merino wool practically take care of its self although it doesn’t mind a little help. Instead of washing, air out your woollen garments from time to time to remove any unwanted odours by either laying them flat on a bed or hanging it on a hanger for an hour or so.

Read our detailed care instructions for more information.
