It is always a good idea to wash the garment after you finish knitting it. This helps soften the wool, even out the stitch pattern, and remove any excess dye or dirt that may have gotten on the garment during knitting. Additionally, the garments look extra nice if you lightly steam them before use.
We recommend hand washing your wool garments. Soak the garment with a mild wool soap. Gently press the water out of the garment by rolling it in a towel, then dry the garment flat on a dry towel. Feel free to shape the garment as you lay it out to dry to get the correct dimensions on the finished piece. Yarn from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk can be washed on gentle wool programs (wool cradle) in most modern washing machines. All machines wash differently, and we cannot guarantee that the garment won’t felt in your machine. We recommend knitting a test swatch and washing it in the machine before washing a whole garment. Wool can be spun dry, but tumbling may cause felting. Always wash one garment at a time if you use a machine, and dry the garment flat on a towel. Yarn that is not superwash treated should only be washed on wool programs.
