Good to know
- Hand washing is recommended; machine washing only on a wool or hand-wash programme at cold to 30 °C with a low spin (400–500 rpm) and a constant temperature
- Needs a pH-neutral, enzyme-free wool detergent rather than ordinary washing powder
- Must not be tumble dried, dried on a radiator, soaked, wrung or rubbed; squeeze in a towel, pull into shape and dry flat
