Washing instructions :
Hand wash only in hand hot water and gentle soap or detergent, without agitation. Leave to soak then gently lift out. Rinse in similar warm temperature water, as going from hot to cold can cause the wool to felt or shrink. A gentle spin cycle in the washing machine helps to remove excess water, taking care not to use the rinse cycle as it’s too vigorous. Dry flat or hang to dry away from direct heat.
Steam or steam press if needed.
