Care

Cold hand or machine wash (gentle/wool cycle ). The virgin wool in this yarn will bloom after first wash; meaning it will appear fuller and fuzzier

Do not tumble dry

Dry flat or block

Steam a wrinkled item rather than ironing directly

Mechanically recycled fibres are short, staple-length fibres, and just like any short fibre may pill over time if exposed to regular friction. Pilling can be gently removed with a sweater comb or fabric shaver
