Care for your wool

Wool is a natural, breathable and durable fibre that can last for decades when properly cared for. With the right maintenance, your wool garments and homewares will stay soft, fresh and beautiful for years to come.

Wool is naturally resistant to odors and stains thanks to its unique fibre structure. Unlike synthetic fabrics, it doesn’t need frequent washing.

Proper storage is essential to protect your wool from damage, especially during warmer months. Ensure items are clean (moths are attracted to natural oils, sweat and food residue) and spot clean small marks with cold water and a gentle wool detergent.

Wool moths are attracted to untreated natural fibres — but there are safe, chemical-free ways to protect your pieces:

• Cedar wood blocks or balls

• Lavender sachets or dried lavender

Cedar wood naturally repels moths with its aroma, while lavender provides a gentle, fresh scent that also deters pests.

With simple, mindful care, wool remains one of the most sustainable and long-lasting fibres available. Treat it well, store it properly, and protect it naturally — and your wool will reward you with years of warmth, comfort and performance.
