All wool sweaters and clothing knitted from wool yarn can shrink from exposure to water and heat. The only way to maintain a wool garments original size is to let it dry in a cool area and block or stretch out the shingles when the fabric is still wet.

Hand wash only in lukewarm water (40°C maximum) and mild soap or detergent. Turn the knitwear inside out to protect any loose fibers on the surface. A short soak of less than five minutes will help to dislodge dirt before gently sqeezing the liquid through the knitwear. Never rub the garment!

Rinse first in warm water, then cold. Either roll the knitwear between clean towels or use a washing machine short spin cycle (never wring). After spin drying, make sure the knitwear is pulled back to shape while damp. Dry flat if possible. Line drying knitted garments is not recommended.
