How to Care for Merino Wool: A Simple Guide to Longevity

Merino wool is naturally strong, but with the right care, it can last even longer—saving you money and reducing fashion waste. Here’s your quick guide to maintaining your garments.

Washing Merino Wool

  • Use cold or lukewarm water
  • Select wool-safe, biodegradable detergent
  • Choose a gentle cycle or hand wash
  • Avoid bleach and fabric softeners

Drying and Storing

  • Lay flat to dry, away from direct heat or sunlight
  • Do not hang heavy knits—this causes stretching
  • Store folded in breathable cotton bags to prevent mildew or moth damage

Stain and Odour Management

  • Air garments out between wears
  • Spot clean minor stains with a damp cloth
  • For pilling, use a fabric comb to gently remove excess fuzz
