How do I care for milled wool?Shetland and bouclé qualities can be hand washed. We recommend a liquid detergent specific for wool. The water must be lukewarm (about 30°C) and the garment must not be squeezed but gently pressed. It will then need to be re-shaped and spread out flat to dry; it should never be put in a tumble-drier or hanged.
For the more delicate qualities of milled wool (i.e. those used for spring or summer clothes), we recommend a dry cleaning, in order to avoid any damages to the fabric. The jackets with embroideries must be cleaned using particular care. However, please be aware that the milled wool is particularly resistant and doesn’t need to be cleaned too often.
How do I care my slippers?Slippers can be machine washed at 30°C maximum. They must not be put in the tumble-drier, on the heating, or directly in the sun to dry, as this would damage the sole’s natural rubber. It’s also important not to use fabric softener.
