Care All types of wool have one thing in common: the risk of pilling. Although pilling looks unsightly, it is actually an indication of good quality: with its short, fine fibers, wool is susceptible to the formation of lint and pills, which are a consequence of friction. Use a wool shaver to remove the small tangles. Wool tends to absorb odors. Regular ventilation outside helps against this; but avoid direct sunlight to protect the colors from fading. Or you can hang your scarf in humid air - in the bathroom or outside on a foggy day (not in the rain). The basic rule is: please wash wool as little as possible. If you wash out the protective wool grease, the scarf or blanket will get dirty again more quickly. If washing is necessary, you should pay attention to the following points: >> Temperature: From 25 degrees, wool can become felted because the scale structure of the fiber contracts. So please always make sure that the water temperature is not too warm. >> Detergent: Be sure to use a wool care product with a moisturizing effect (ordinary detergents attack the fibers of wool). You can add a little vinegar for the final rinses: This ensures the right pH value that the wool likes and refreshes the colors. >> Hand wash: Wool should only be gently moved back and forth, do not rub or wring too much. >> Drying: Lay the scarf flat on a bath towel and drying rack and turn several times until dry. And please never in direct sunlight, near the radiator or even in the tumble dryer. Stains should be removed as quickly as possible so that they do not penetrate deep into the fibers and dry out. The following also applies: rub or brush as little as possible, but rather soak and remove the stain as quickly as possible with hair shampoo or wool detergent.
