Did you know you don't actually need to wash wool? Wool naturally contains lanolin which is a self cleaning property. Additionally, each piece by Beatrice Rose Design receives an additional lanolin treatment as part of its finishing process. Often your wool item(s) simply needs to be placed on the bathroom windowsill during a shower or bath to benefit from the steam and humidity. However, sometimes we have little accidents with our precious woolen knitwear. If this is you then read below for handwashing instructions.

Handwashing Wool

1. Prepare a basin of warm water and mix in a teaspoon or two of baby shampoo or Woolite.


2. Submerge your wool item and allow it to absorb water.


3. Gently lift it out of the water and squeeze, ensuring not to wring or rub the fabric together. Repeat this three or four times.


4. On the final lift, squeeze out as much water as possible before placing your item flat on a clean towel. Gently stretch into shape.


5. Roll up the towel with your item inside. Press as hard as you can to squeeze out any excess water.Remove from the towel. 


6. Place your item flat on a drying rack, and allow to dry for 24 to 36 hours. DO NOT TUMBLE DRY!
