How to care for this yarn

Hand wash, max 30°C / Dry flat

First and foremost, consider whether you can air out the garment instead of washing it. If you still want to wash it, here are some washing instructions for you:

• Hand wash at 30ºC – separately – with a wool detergent that contains no enzymes or optical brighteners.
• Do not let the garment soak. Move it gently back and forth and avoid rubbing, scrubbing, or wringing.
• Rinse the garment until the water is completely clear, making sure the water temperature remains constant.
• Lightly spin the garment (approx. 800 rpm) with a program that does NOT add water at the beginning. Instead of spinning, you can also gently press out the water with a dry towel. The garment should not be wrung or rolled.
• Lay the garment flat to dry, shaping it as it dries – ideally on a warm bathroom floor or on a drying rack lying flat in a well-ventilated room. Never dry the garment in direct sunlight.
• Do not tumble dry the garment.
• Never iron the garment directly. Always use a damp cloth between the (steam) iron and the garment.

Please note: If you are washing a project where this yarn is combined with another, as a general rule, follow the care instructions for the more delicate of the yarns used.
