Washing & Care Guide
Merino wool doesn't need constant washing. It's naturally odor-resistant and antibacterial but When it’s time:
- Always read the garment label
- Dry clean or machine wash cold on a gentle wool cycle
- Use a mild, wool-safe detergent
- Avoid bleach and fabric softeners
- Wash with similar, soft fabrics—no rough towels or denim
Drying
Never tumble dry. Heat can damage or shrink Merino fibers.
Instead:
- Gently reshape after washing
- Lay flat to dry—not in direct sunlight
- Don’t hang wet garments (it can stretch them)
Wrinkles & Ironing
Merino naturally resists wrinkles, but for a touch-up:
- Use a cool iron on the wool setting
- Or simply steam while you shower—it works wonders
Storing Your Merino
- Fold, don’t hang—especially heavier pieces
- Keep away from direct sunlight
- Store clean and dry
- For long-term storage, use a cotton bag (not plastic)
What About Pilling?
Some light pilling is natural—especially with friction. To fix:
- Gently use a fabric comb or pilling razor
- Never pull pills by hand
- Over time, proper washing will reduce future pilling
