MERINO WOOL WASHING AND CARE

Merino Wool Beanies Care Instructions

Merino wool is a durable and low-maintenance material, perfect for creating long-lasting beanies. To help you take care of your merino wool beanies, we've gathered essential information to guide you in maintaining their quality and extending their lifespan.

Merino wool is naturally antibacterial, so often simply airing out your merino wool beanie is enough to freshen it up. However, when it's time for a wash, please follow the care instructions located inside the beanie. Here are some general guidelines:

Machine Wash: Set your washing machine to the delicate 30°C cycle. Please note that older machines may have varying temperature settings, so adjust accordingly. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can affect the wool's natural properties.

Avoid Hand Washing: Hand washing may be too harsh for the delicate fibres of the beanie, potentially causing stretching or damage.

Flat Dry: After washing, lay your beanie flat to dry naturally. Avoid using a dryer, as the heat may cause shrinkage or misshaping.

    Important notes about merino wool

    Natural Wool Smell: When wet, moist sheep wool can emit a typical smell, especially in natural colours. This is normal and will dissipate as the wool dries.

    Allow Day-Offs: We recommend giving your merino wool beanie occasional breaks, allowing it to rest and restore its natural elasticity.

    By following these care instructions, you can keep your merino wool beanies fresh, clean, and warm for years to come. Enjoy the long-lasting comfort of your merino wool beanies with confidence.
