Wool Wash & Care
How to care for your woolens?
Every piece from The Wool Knitters is made with love and deserves gentle care in return.
Our products are crafted from natural Himalayan wool — a fiber that’s self-cleaning, breathable, and made to last. Treat it kindly, and it will stay by your side for years to come.
Eco Souvenirs
Small keepsakes made of handspun and handknitted wool.
- Hand wash gently in cold or lukewarm water using a mild wool-safe detergent or baby shampoo.
- Rinse thoroughly and gently press out excess water.
- Lay flat to dry on a clean towel, away from direct sunlight or heat.
Once dry, store in a cool, airy space — your little wool treasure will stay beautiful for years.
