Care Instructions
Hand Washing
For the best result, turn garment inside out and gently hand wash in lukewarm water, using a wool detergent. Rinse thoroughly in lukewarm water. Rinse again in cold water.
Drying
To remove excess moisture after washing, roll garment inside a large towel and gently squeeze, alternatively, spin dry inside a pillow case. Never tumble dry. Place garment on a flat surface in the shade to dry, coaxing it back into shape whilst damp. Drying flat is recommended. Do not dry directly in front of an open or artificial fire.
Dry cleaning
Generally is not recommended as residual dry cleaning chemicals tend to harden cotton fabric.
