Caring for your Wool Products
 

 

The following information is provided for your general information. We do not, however, guarantee the results of home washing.

The Basics...

When washing wool products, the important thing is not to agitate the wool, as this causes the fibers to mat together and shrink. Soaking and spinning, though, are fine.

The following items can be washed by following our simple wash instructions:

  • Custom Woolen Mills comforters* (size double and smaller)
  • Custom Woolen Mills sleeping bags
  • Custom Woolen Mills mattress pads (all sizes)
  • Hand-knit and machine knit items such as sweaters, socks**, mitts, and hats

*Some printed fabrics may fade if washed or dry cleaned
**Custom Woolen Mills machine-knit socks can be washed in your machine on delicate cycle and hung to dry, or can be washed with our instructions below.

Wash Instructions

  1. Fill your machine with warm water and soap. Agitate the water to dissolve the soap.
  2. Stop the machine and add your wool.
  3. Plunge gently up and down by hand to clean.
  4. Let soak for a 15 minutes.
  5. Set machine to spin and turn it on, allowing the machine to spin out the soapy water.
  6. Fill your machine again with warm water to rinse.
  7. Stop the machine (do not allow it to agitate the wool).
  8. Add fabric softener.
  9. Plunge gently up and down by hand to rinse.
  10. Let soak for 15 minutes.
  11. Set machine to spin and turn it on, allowing the machine to spin out the rinse water.
  12. Hang to dry: comforters, sleeping bags, mattress pads, socks, mitts or hats.
    Lay flat to dry: sweaters.

Just remember... DO NOT agitate the wool!
