Below are our best care tips for each type of wool we offer.

Chenille Yarn Pieces

Chenille yarn is known for its soft, velvety texture and rich appearance. While it's luxurious and comfortable, it requires some extra attention to maintain its beauty.

Washing Instructions:

• Hand wash with cool water
• Use a gentle, mild detergent to protect the fibers
• Never wring or twist when wet
• Gently press water out by rolling in a towel

Drying Instructions:

• Lay flat to dry
• Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent fading

Merino Wool Pieces

Merino wool is prized for its softness, warmth, and breathability. It naturally resists odors and dirt, making it an ideal choice for both comfort and durability.

Washing Instructions:

• Hand wash in cool water OR dry clean
• For machine washing: Use a mesh bag on wool cycle with cool water
• Avoid fabric softener (damages fibers)

Drying Instructions:

• Always lay flat to dry
• Never tumble dry or hang (prevents stretching)

Storage Tips

Keep Your Pieces Beautiful:

• Store in a cool, dry place
• Use a breathable cotton storage bag
• Protects from dust while allowing airflow
