Understanding Wool Felting

Felting occurs when wool or cashmere clothing is washed incorrectly. Heat, agitation, and unsuitable detergents can  cause fibers to shrink  and harden, leading to reduced size and a matted texture.

Tips for Washing Wool Clothes

• • Water Temperature:  Always use cold water. Wool  shrinks  and felts at high temperatures.

• • Choice of Detergent:  Opt for a neutral detergent specially designed for delicate fabrics.
  • Washing Technique:  Hand wash is preferred. If you must use a machine, choose a gentle program.
  • Drying:  Avoid wringing or wringing your wool clothing. Dry flat to maintain the shape of the garment.
