Caring for Specialty Wools

Whether alpaca, mohair, merino, or virgin wool - silky, lush, and elegant specialty wools require gentle care

Specialty Wool Care Instructions

**Always check the label for style specific instructions - these are the best practices for caring for your garments.**

2. Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent.
3. Only dry clean if specified on the care label of your garment.
4. Rinse well, do not wring out your garment – softly roll your garment in a towel to remove excess water.
5. Gently reshape your garment while wet.
6. Lay flat to air dry.
7. Never use a machine washer or dryer.
8. Fold your knitwear to maintain its shape.
9. If piling occurs, remove gently with a sweater comb.

Composition

Wool is a natural fiber fabric gathered from the coats of different animals.

Alpaca - Obtained from alpacas, native to South America.

Mohair - Obtained from angora goats, native to Asia.

Merino - Obtained from merino sheep, native to Australia and New Zealand.

Virgin Wool - Obtained from lamb, specifically from a lambs first shearing.

How It's Made

Wool hairs are collected through shearing and spun into yarn. This yarn is then woven or knit to form fabrics.

Why We Love Specialty Wool

Wool had thermoregulatory properties - it regulates temperature and moisture and does not need to be washed frequently.

Alpaca - One of the warmest wools, extremely soft, and antimicrobial.

Mohair - Waterproof properties, wrinkle resistant, and uniquely silky texture.

Merino - Extremely breathable, prevents overheating, and soft.

Virgin Wool - Thermal insulator, great for the winter, and stronger than regular wool.

Environmental Impact

Natural fiber fabrics are biodegradable and generally require less manufacturing resources than synthetic fabrics. This makes natural fiber fabrics a more sustainable option.
