DRYING
Gently press out water - avoid compressing or twisting the fabric
Lay out flat - on a towel and let them air dry
Steam if necessary - use the wool or steam setting on your iron
MERINO WOOL
FEATURES
The wool is highly absorbent while also having moisture-wicking properties and is especially good on the skin as it is finer and softer than regular wool. Since the fibre is porous, clothes made out of Merino wool are not only lightweight and breathable but are also perfect for regulating body temperature by keeping you dry and sweat-free.
