Care instructions & warnings

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS (Silk-mohair)

DRY CLEAN

Mohair items can be cleaned by a reputable dry cleaner, however Mohair suiting, and other fine mohair worsted cloth will recommend dry cleaning on their care label.

HANDWASH

• Soak in tepid water using mild detergent recommended for washing wool (like Woolite), or even hair shampoo.
• Very gently agitate by hand to dislodge dirt particles.
• Rinse in clean, cool water. A small amount of fabric softener can be used if desired.
• Gently squeeze the item to expel the excess water.

MACHINE WASH

If you have a front loader washing machine with a wool or silk/delicate cycle, use the wool cycle to ensure that your item will be washed at the correct temperature (Important: Temperature must be no higher than 30 °), and it won’t be spun. Use a wool washing detergent, to wash these items. Once the machine has finished its cycle, most of the water will have been removed.

DRYING INSTRUCTIONS

Hang or lay flat to dry (mohair dries quite quickly). When dry, a brisk shake or brush (with a stiff hairbrush) will restore the pile. Gentle coaxing, rather than firm strokes, is advised to ease out tangle and create the downy pile for which Mohair is renowned.

IMPORTANT: Do not tumble dry.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Storage : Store garment in a cool dry place. Do not store in plastic.

Fold Knitwear : Do not keep knitted mohair garments on hangers/ Fold and store on a shelf

Avoid Perfume : Do not spray perfume directly on garment, especially if it is white.

Keep your Mohair looking full : To fluff up garment, lightly shake or gently brush down by hand.
