Special Notes

• Hand wash only — extremely delicate

• Lay flat on towel to dry

• Store in sealed bag to prevent moth damage

Additional Care Tips

  • • Hand wash only in cold water (below 25°C) with delicate or wool-specific detergent
  • • Never wring, twist, or agitate — gently swish and press water out with a towel
  • • Lay flat to dry on a towel away from heat — angora felts very easily with heat or friction
  • • Never iron directly — use a steamer held several inches away if needed
  • • Store in a sealed breathable bag with cedar to prevent moths; fold, never hang
  • • Shake gently after wearing to fluff fibers; avoid rubbing against rough surfaces
