Mittens from alpaca wool - grey

Please note: This item does not need to be washed before first use. After the knitting process, the material has already been carefully cleaned. In addition, wool is naturally self-cleaning, which means it generally does not need to be washed often. Simply airing it outside overnight or hanging it in a humid bathroom is often enough to restore its fresh scent. If the item has a stain, you can easily spot-clean it with a small amount of gall soap (do not use regular stain remover, as it can damage the wool fibers).

If the item needs to be washed, hand washing only is recommended. Gently move the item through lukewarm water (maximum 30°C / 86°F) without rubbing or wringing it. Make sure the water remains at the same temperature throughout the process, so do not rinse with cold water afterwards. Use a mild, natural wool detergent and do not use fabric softener. After washing, gently press out excess water with a towel, reshape the item, and leave it to dry flat (do not dry it on a radiator or in a tumble dryer).

If you choose to wash the item in a washing machine, you do so at your own risk, as we cannot guarantee the individual programme settings of washing machines. Wash the item on a wool cycle (do not use the hand wash or delicate cycle) at a maximum temperature of 30°C / 86°F. Select a low spin speed, preferably no higher than 400 rpm. Use a mild, natural wool detergent and do not use fabric softener. After washing, gently reshape the item and leave it to dry flat (do not dry it on a radiator or in a tumble dryer).
