Should I wash my wool& garments before I wear them?Updated 5 days ago

Whether you wash your new wool& garments upon receipt is up to personal preference -- typically we prefer to keep them unwashed for as long as possible (just to preserve water) but many of our customers choose to wash them right away! 

Whenever you do choose to wash them, we recommend a gentle laundry detergent with a fairly natural pH, not too alkaline and not too acidic. Hand washing is great, and even better than machine washing in terms of garment longevity! You can read our full care instructions here.
