Cycling Sock Merino

The natural property of wool fibers is to stay clean, which means that your wool product should ideally be washed as little as possible to preserve the natural fibers.

Stains: The best approach is to wipe off the stain as soon as possible to prevent it from being absorbed into the fibers. If the stain has set, try letting lukewarm water run through the stain.

Machine wash: If the wool needs washing, choose the silk/wool wash or hand wash program, which washes at a "lukewarm" temperature (not higher than 30°C). Always use wool detergent!

Hand wash: Use lukewarm water and wool detergent. Gently move the wool around in the sink so that water and detergent flow through the fibers. Be careful not to wring or twist the wool, as the fibers cannot tolerate it. Rinse the wool thoroughly in clean water. Again, be careful not to wring the wool, but gently press the water out of the wool. You can also lay the wool on a towel and roll it into a sausage shape, then press lightly.

Drying: After washing, wool is best air-dried - do not use a tumble dryer.

Storage: If you're storing your wool away during the summer, make sure your wool product is clean and pack it in a cotton bag or a closed plastic container to prevent moth attacks that can create small holes in your wool product.
