Care instructions:
We wash our hand-dyed yarns by hand in warm water with gentle, woolsafe pH neutral wash liquid. Rinse carefully in warm water then squeeze excess water out by hand. Do not wring. Roll in a clean, lint-free towel if required to remove excess moisture and leave to dry out of direct sunlight in a warm place. Do not dry over a radiator or with direct heat.
Alternatively, if your machine has a wool cycle, the manufacturer suggests:
Machine Wash 30°
Reshape whilst damp
Do not Tumble Dry
