General washing instructions

• Machine wash only till 30 degrees celsius. Never leave the item/product to long in the water after washing programme is finshed.

• Wash dark colors seperately. Dark colors mostly contain a slight overdose of pigment;  thats why its very important to wash seperately and to rinse untill the water is clear and transparant again. In this way you will prevent darker pigments to jump over onto other (lighter) colored items.

• Use only detergent suitable for wool and other fine fabrics or detergent without bleach and with neutral PH-value.

• Always bring the item/product back into its “natural”shape and leave it flat out to dry. It is very important to NEVER leave it directly in the sun to dry.

• Never leave wet clothing on the washing line (for example) to dry. Avoid surfaces which absorb moisture/water, like towels. In this way you risk color contamination and that the item/product looses it’s natural elasticity.

• Please note that garments with special ”heavy” techniques (such as cables) can stretch during wear or in the laundry if they are not knitted sufficiently. Always make a test piece beforhand, wash the cloth, let it dry completely and then measure whether the stich ratio is correct. True, this will be some extra work, but you will not be faced with unpleasant surprises.
