Wool and silk garments like sweaters, scarves, wraps and any unstructured items like a sweater dress or pullover skirt can usually washed by hand. Wool and silk that is knitted can almost alway be handwashes and in many cases should be washed by hand.
- Use cool water and a natural non alkaline soap or shampoo.
- Wash gently, no quick agitation and don't twist or ring.
- Rinse in cool water until the water is clear.
- Push and squeeze the water out of the garment ,while in the sink roll up your garment in a clean towel and gently push to remove more water.
