Caring for knitwear
Wool lasts for years if you wash it less and dry it flat. A short guide.
Wool needs washing far less often than cotton. Air a jumper overnight after wearing it and it will usually be fresh by morning.
When you do wash it
- Hand wash in cool water with a wool detergent.
- Press the water out in a towel; never wring.
- Dry flat, away from radiators and direct sun.
Fold knitwear rather than hanging it, so the shoulders keep their shape.
