All wool and knitted garments prefer to be aired rather than washed. Many wool garments will both look better and last longer when aired. Feel free to hang the knitted garment outside under a roof when it rains, so the fibers get extra help to rise again. This applies especially to mohair garments.

Most yarn types can withstand low temperatures and new wool washing programmes. However, check what your yarn can handle in advance, and preferably before you knit your garment.

Tip! Use the test knitting patch as a test patch in the washing machine to test the wool program in advance. Remember to measure the patch in advance. Always turn the garment inside out before washing, and shake it afterwards, before drying it flat on a towel. Some garments will also benefit from being carefully stretched to return to their original shape.

Moth – a collective term for smaller
crepuscular and inconspicuous species of butterflies. Moths are also a pest
which spreads easily in the house, and which prefers and eats holes in dirty fabrics
and textiles. Lavender is the moth's kryptonite, and a small bag of lavender can
keep the moth away from your knitted garment. It is recommended to pack away elastics that are not
used in plastic, to keep the moth away.

Feel free to store your knitting - especially mohair knitting either in light piles neatly folded or hanging on wide hangers, to avoid your knitting becoming flat and wrinkled. If the damage has already occurred, hang them out for airing, preferably under cover in light rain. You can also press them very lightly on low heat under a wet cloth. Allow the garment to rest for a while before you possibly fold it up and put it away.
