Care:
Caring for naturally dyed garments is a little different than caring for conventionally dyed garments, but as soon as you do it this way, i'm sure it will become an easy part of your routine.
-
Always use natural soap, preferably one with a neutral PH
-
If you prefer using powder soap, please dissolve it fully before adding clothing to the wash cycle
-
Turn garments inside-out, and wash on cold with like colours
-
Direct sunlight will effect the natural colours, if you line dry, (ACE!) but do it in the shade.
-
Do not spot clean!
-
Most natural dyes react to acid, so please be careful when handling citrus, or citrus juices. If a stain happens, make a small bath of warm water with a small amount of stain fighting detergent. Leave for a few minutes, squeeze out, wash as normal. If a stain persists, keep washing! It will fade with time.
Wool Care:
-
We suggest hand washing your woollen garments in cold water with a mild scent free soap.
-
Using a bath or large sink is good to submerge your woollen jumper. Do not soak for a long period of time. Using water over 30C with begin to felt the wool.
-
Remove from cold water and gently squeeze, you don't want to misshape your jumper. Roll in a towel to remove excess water then lay flat to dry. Do not put on a radiator or near direct heat as this may shrink your garment.
-
We would advise against machine washing as we feel it is too aggressive with the wool fibres, but if you wish to go with this option use a good machine with an effective wool wash that will wash on cold and not felt the wool.
