To best care for your woolen garment, we recommend hand washing in cold water in a sink or basin. Soak for 5 to 10 minutes with wool detergent, gently squeeze the suds out (do not rub, twist, or wring), and rinse in clear, cold water. Pull carefully to shape. Always dry flat and never put in a tumble drier. The Golden Rule for caring for a wool garment is to wash it as seldom as possible and air frequently. For centuries Irish fishermen in the Aran Islands have appreciated the wonderful qualities of wool. Using this wonderful raw material they created a style of knitting and knitwear that is still recognized and prized today.
